Towards a Vision of a Healthy Ocean through Sustainable Finance

This morning, our Executive Director, Dr. Leandra Cho-Ricketts, moderated a panel at the International Women in Conservation Summit, hosted by Sea of Life.

Our discussion brought together incredible women from our grantee partners—Southern Environmental Association, Belize Audubon Society, Humana People to People Belize, and MarAlliance—sharing how sustainable financing drives impactful ocean conservation in Belize. 💙

The summit celebrates the leadership of women who are shaping the future of conservation, locally and globally. With expert panels, workshops, and a marketplace dedicated to the blue and green economy, the event highlights why Belize remains a beacon of hope for ecosystem protection.

We’re proud to join and amplify these voices and continue working towards a healthier, more sustainable future for our ocean 🌍🐟
