Moonjelly is our new partner in the ocean conservation space and we are proud to be able to support them in their journey to build an impactful network of dynamic Indigenous ocean scientists and organisations dedicated to sustainable ecosystem management.

They serve as a hub for philanthropic support, channeling funds directly to their frontline leaders in Indigenous communities.
The ocean is home to 80% of the world’s biodiversity. While Indigenous Peoples make up just 5% of the global population, they protect the vast majority of the world’s remaining biodiversity.  The vital role of Indigenous communities in the conservation of nature is increasingly recognised. Unfortunately, not enough funding finds its way into the hands of Indigenous communities who do this important work. Moonjelly’s goals are to build trust, test the building blocks approach, and co-design a new simplified funding mechanism.

At Moonjelly, they believe that the best and fastest way to restore our sick ocean and protect its biodiversity is to listen to and support those with the most experience caring for ocean and coastal ecosystems — Indigenous Peoples and local communities. They:
–  listen to their trusted partners,
–  learn what is most impactful,
–  help them communicate their needs,
–  find resources to support their work,
–  connect them with likeminded collaborators, and
–  get out of the way.

We can’t wait to see the further impact that Moonjelly will make in this space.
