EcoRise 2025: Youth Workshop on Biodiversity & Action in Malaysia

EcoRise 2025: Youth Workshop on Biodiversity & Action brought together 50 young leaders from across Malaysia for an immersive program focused on environmental awareness and community-led conservation. Through interactive sessions, field activities, and hands-on learning, participants explored the importance of biodiversity, the threats it faces, and how local action can drive global change. Highlights included a guided biodiversity walk, native tree planting, and the co-creation of community impact projects aimed at protecting Malaysia’s rich ecosystems. The workshop empowered youth with practical tools, mentorship opportunities, and a platform to lead sustainability initiatives in their own communities, marking the beginning of a growing movement of informed, action-driven environmental stewards.

Restoration with Shabunda Community in DRC

Project Verdant Nexus is dedicated to regenerating degraded ecosystems by restoring soil health, increasing biodiversity, and improving climate resilience. Through reforestation, wetland rehabilitation, and sustainable land management, we create measurable, lasting environmental impact. Each year, we plant over 100,000 native trees to combat deforestation and sequester carbon, while soil restoration techniques such as composting, biochar, and mycelium networks enhance fertility and water retention. Our efforts also focus on biodiversity recovery by reintroducing native plant species and establishing wildlife corridors to support pollinators, birds, and keystone species. Additionally, we restore wetlands and implement natural filtration systems to improve water quality and reduce flooding risks. Community engagement is central to our approach, as we train local communities in regenerative agriculture and conservation techniques to ensure long-term sustainability. By aligning with natural processes and involving local stakeholders, Verdant Nexus transforms degraded landscapes into thriving ecosystems that benefit both people and wildlife.
