At Moonjelly Foundation, we're pioneering a new era of conservation finance, inspired by the principles of trust and community. Our approach, reminiscent of the slow-food movement, focuses on building deep, personal relationships and reducing administrative burdens to empower grantees to focus on their crucial work. We're creating a Conservation Impact Network, connecting conservation organizations and community groups through trust-based relationships. This network is strengthened by our Pay It Forward Scaling, where partners support new members, enhancing our collective impact on conservation. Our efforts are already making waves in regions like the Cook Islands and Latin America, where traditional knowledge and conservation practices are being revitalized. We aim to grow an indigenously-led Conservation Impact Network, proving that trust and collaboration can lead to significant environmental progress. We invite you to be part of this transformative movement. Together, we can scale trust-based conservation to new heights. #ConservationFinance #Moonjelly #SustainableFuture #PayItForward

At the #OceanKAN, we already have used "Impact Networking" practices and "Network Weaving" to build a trust-based network that spans 30 countries and more than 100 community members. Now, at Moonjelly Foundation, we are using a similar approach, plus Pay It Forward Scaling, to grow a Conservation Impact Network through trust-based conservation finance.

International Day of Action for Rivers The International Day of Action for Rivers is observed on March 14th every year. This day serves as a global celebration of rivers and aims to raise awareness about the importance of rivers and advocate for their conservation and protection. It is organized by various environmental organizations, river advocacy groups, and communities around the world. The significance of this day lies in highlighting the various threats faced by rivers, such as pollution, over-extraction of water, dam construction, and habitat destruction. Advocates use this day to promote sustainable river management practices, advocate for the rights of rivers, and encourage people to take action to protect these vital waterways. Events and activities organized on the International Day of Action for Rivers may include river clean-up efforts, educational workshops, community gatherings, advocacy campaigns, and artistic performances. These activities aim to engage individuals, communities, and policymakers in efforts to safeguard rivers and ensure their sustainable management for future generations.

On February 8, 2023, Assemblymember Gail Pellerin of the 28th Assembly District introduced Assembly Bill 2103 (formerly 566), which will allow California State Parks to more effectively work with conservation organizations to protect priority lands and grow Big Basin, Butano, and Año Nuevo State Parks —a region with incredible biodiversity and natural resources recently devastated by the 2020 CZU Fire. 🌲 🌲 🌲 On May 16, 2024, Assembly Bill 2103 passed the California State Assembly appropriations committee. This is another step closer to rebuilding parks like Big Basin Redwoods State Park and protecting our recovering habitats, but AB 2103 needs to keep moving through the Assembly to become a reality. ▶️ ▶️ ▶️ Will you urge state leadership to support AB 2103 to rebuild State Parks?: https://bit.ly/3V89Xyc
