Women weaving the way forward: how women are tackling the planetary crisis
The 2025 Impact Study analyzes 24 women-led conservation initiatives worldwide, revealing how they are weaving a path that restores both ecosystems and human connection to nature amid a deepening planetary crisis.
The findings establish that the enduring effectiveness of these efforts is built upon two interwomen dynamics: women are enabling continuity and their leadership sparks a ripple effect, expanding impact beyond ecological benefits to social and economic gains. Their holistic approach is rebuilding our bond with nature from a place of beauty, harmony and coexistence.
Although these organizations report transformative results, including recovery of wildlife populations, improved water quality or availability and restored landscapes, they overwhelmingly struggle with funding scarcity and gender-based barriers.
The report adds to the growing evidence that investing in women’s leadership is critical for delivering the exponential, systemic change required to meet global restoration targets.
