Rainforest Habitat Restoration and Community Partnership: During the fiscal year, the organization successfully restored 66 hectares of critical tropical rainforest habitat within the Mt. Matutum Protected Landscape. Working in direct collaboration with local indigenous communities, including the B'laan Tribe, the organization cultivated and planted 101 native tree species. This specific initiative brought the organization's cumulative total to over 500,000 native tropical trees planted in protected areas. The program directly protected habitats for endangered endemic species while providing sustainable conservation management training to local community partners. 20000 20000 0 During the fiscal year, the organization successfully advanced its marine conservation program across three critical protected sites within the Coral Triangle (Balabac Island, Negros Island, and Sarangani Bay). The organization protected and actively restored 20 hectares of coral reef habitat across a 6,000-square-kilometer ocean footprint, alongside an expansion into 308 hectares of adjacent mangrove ecosystems. Through active coral gardening, the removal of invasive species and plastics, and community-led protection, live coral coverage at the sites increased to 63% (up from a 37% baseline). This resulted in the recovery of 23 coral species, including 15 listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. To ensure sustainability, the organization empowered local coastal communities by mobilizing them for anti-poaching patrols, which successfully maintained a zero-incident rate for illegal and destructive fishing in the protected zones throughout the year. Furthermore, the organization conducted weekly marine awareness and experiential conservation camps, educating over 5,000 youth from local fishing communities. The initiative significantly enhanced overall marine biodiversity, increasing local fish populations to 150 documented species and providing critical, safe refuge for endangered marine life, including green sea turtles, hawksbill turtles, reef manta rays, and dugongs. 77115 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false 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 false 0 0 0 false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 4 4 false false false false false false false true true false true true false true true true true true false CA X X Chris Giorni 4157428279 3835 Mission Street San Francisco CA 94110 Chris Giorni Treasurer 5.00 X 0 0 0 Pierre Fidenci President 40.00 X 0 0 0 Andreas Rytz Communication Officer 5.00 X 0 0 0 Tony Iwane Secretary 5.00 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 false false false 0 175126 175126 175126 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 40000 40000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 800 800 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 666 250 416 0 0 7115 7115 1000 1000 Food for field conservation activities 7250 7250 equipment for wildfe conservation 20700 20700 0 0 0 0 77531 77115 416 0 627197 717346 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4600 1000 3120 3600 630317 720946 0 0 0 X 630317 720946 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 630317 720946 630317 720946 97595 0 0 0 0 X false false X 0 243609 157647 160893 204395 175126 941670 243609 157647 160893 204395 175126 941670 0 0 0 941670 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 243609 157647 160893 204395 175126 941670 1.00000 1.00000 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 4600 1000 3600 3600 East Asia and the Pacific Rainforest and marine habitat restoration 40000 Wire transfer 0 40000 0 false false false false false false Part I, Line 2 Endangered Species International (ESI) maintains strict oversight of all funds disbursed to foreign organizations to ensure they are used exclusively for approved 501(c)(3) charitable conservation purposes. Prior to the disbursement of any funds, ESI requires a written grant agreement that legally restricts the use of the funds to specific, approved project budgets (such as rainforest reforestation or marine habitat protection) and explicitly prohibits the use of funds for lobbying, political campaigns, or any non-exempt purpose. To monitor ongoing compliance, ESI requires the foreign grantee to submit regular narrative progress reports and detailed financial accounting of how the grant funds were expended. ESI's U.S. leadership reviews these reportsalongside verifiable project deliverables such as site photographs, biological survey data, and community training logsto verify that milestones are being met. Furthermore, ESI disburses large grants in installments, with subsequent funding contingent upon the successful review and approval of the preceding reporting period. ESI retains the contractual right to audit the grantee's records, halt future funding, and demand the return of any unspent or misused funds if the grantee fails to adhere to the restrictions. ESI also conduct on site project monitoring to ensure full completion of conservation grant. Part VI, Line 11b FIRST, THE DRAFT FORM 990 WAS REVIEWED BY ENDANGERED SPECIES INTERNATIONAL STAFF.
