Please read before applying
At Collaborative for Change, Emerging Initiatives are given the support they need to grow and succeed. Each project is advised by our Restoration and Advisory Collective (RAC) and the Collaborative for Change team, ensuring they receive expert guidance and valuable resources. As these projects develop and demonstrate their potential, they may be selected to become one of our Pilot Projects, gaining additional support and visibility as they move toward full implementation.
Join us in making a big impact with small contributions. Discover a range of Emerging Initiatives that you can support with as little as $20. Every donation plays a vital role in helping these projects grow and create positive change for our planet.

Children's Education in Biodiversity Conservation in Manica Province, Mozambique
- Non-Governmental Organization (NGO)
Some of the people who are in Biodiversity Conservation started to fall in love when they were growing up, this is my particular case, so I think that if we could help our young brothers by letting them know more about biodiversity conservation and its role worldwide, climate changes, for example, would be useful for those who will work in Conservation in the future, they will start as early as possible and this will be wonderful for their achievements.
Many of the world’s ecosystems have undergone significant degradation with negative impacts on biological diversity and peoples’ livelihoods, (Gann & Lamb 2006).
These elements are critical to successful ecosystem management. Ecological restoration should:
- Improve biodiversity conservation
- Improve human livelihoods
- Empower local people
- Improve ecosystem productivity
So helping with Children's Education, will also have a big impact on the process of restoration because we are going to have future leaders who are well-educated about biodiversity conservation.
Extensive ecosystem restoration is increasingly seen as being central to conserving biodiversity and stabilizing the climate of the Earth. Although ambitious national and global targets have been set, global priority areas that account for spatial variation in benefits and costs have yet to be identified, (Strassburg et al. 2020).
