First, we funded their Forever Sabah: Into a Relational Future program focusing on a broad range of robust and diversified micro-economic growth strategies moving forward. Secondly, in order of funding, we granted specifically to FSs Human Elephant Harmony that continues to grow positive relationships between humans and their wild elephant neighbors. Third, we target funded FSs palm oil transition to diversified agroforestry to meet 2025 government certification goals.

Most funding supported LSs Forests and Ape community integration work in thew Lower Kinabatangan & Segama Wetlands. Second was our continuing support for Carbon Sovereign Sabah (leapspiral.org/carbon-soverign-sabah) which helps indigenous communities manage forest resources, educate youth, and spur local business. Third was continued support for LSs Pangolin Rescue Rehabilitation & Release (P3R, leapspiral.org/sundapangolins) program. These grants, together with our program costs helped keep pangolin protection in the news, and engaged wide ranging demographics around forest biodiversity, cultueral participation, and economic growth opportunities. 13657 1103 We again supported another ongoing Bornean project called KampOng Campus, a non-profit eco-literacy and leadership training facility we helped start.

We also continued to directly micro-fund an early project of ours, the Bornean Sun Bear Conservation Centre (bsbcc.org.my)even though it remains financially and managerially self-sufficient, is popular with locals, and is an accessible tourist highlight of Borneo. 536621 true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 0 0 3 true false false false false false false false false X 4 2 true false false false false false false true true true false true true false false false false false false false CA X Mark Stafford 9255860839 4916 Rainbow Dr Weed CA 960949399 Cynthia Ong Executive Director 10.00 10.00 X X 82680 0 0 Mark Stafford Admin CEO 10.00 0.00 X 4800 0 0 Kenneth Wilson Trustee Secretary 2.00 5.00 X X 4000 0 0 Caroline Gabel President 2.00 2.00 X 0 0 0 Margaret Lowman Board Member 1.00 30.00 X 0 0 0 91480 0 0 0 false false false 615699 615699 0 615699 0 0 0 446069 446069 91480 69544 13228 8708 6998 6998 1723 1723 38 1 37 20600 20600 601 407 10 184 1777 1777 3650 3650 Cynthia travel expenses reim 770 770 Ken for Priority Mail of per 44 44 573750 536621 28237 8892 225378 182897 300000 382000 1982 1982 527360 566879 4464 2035 4464 2035 X 522896 564844 522896 564844 527360 566879 X 41949 -1 X false false false X 1181325 262159 324377 811544 615699 3195104 650 662 1312 1181975 262821 324377 811544 615699 3196416 0 0 0 0 0 0 3196416 1181975 262821 324377 811544 615699 3196416 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED true East Asia and the Pacific 2 Grant making Visit Projects 445184 2 2 445184 445184 East Asia and the Pacific Forever Sabah Into a Relational Future 139479 wire East Asia and the Pacific Supports indigenous stewardship of Orang 80812 wire East Asia and the Pacific Human Elephant Harmony 60000 wire East Asia and the Pacific Oil Palm Smallholder Sustainability 45000 wire East Asia and the Pacific Carbon Sovereign Sabah 45000 wire East Asia and the Pacific Pangolin Rescue Rehabilitation 25000 wire East Asia and the Pacific Methane Reduction Initiative 13500 wire 1 4 false false false false false false Officer directors etc family relationship Part VI line 2 Executive Director Cynthia Ong and Trustee/Secretary Kenneth Wilson are married to each other.
