Empowering Leaders to Drive Nature-Positive Change Across Southeast Asia
The Biodiversity Partners Program (BiPP) is now inviting applications for its Southeast Asia Edition 2025, a six-month leadership acceleration journey designed to help senior professionals transform their biodiversity ambitions into tangible, scalable, and nature-positive solutions.
After four successful editions in Southern Africa and two in Northern Africa, the BiPP is expanding to Southeast Asia to empower a new generation of changemakers committed to protecting and restoring the region’s unique ecosystems.
The BiPP supports professionals from diverse sectors—public institutions, international organizations, NGOs, and businesses—to conceptualize and refine pro-nature project ideas. The program blends knowledge-building, leadership development, and project incubation to help participants bridge the gap between ideas and impact.
Over six months, BiPP participants embark on a structured journey that connects what they know, what they care about, and what they can achieve as leaders in biodiversity action. The approach is both evidence-based and deeply personal, helping professionals design credible projects that align with institutional priorities and deliver measurable results for nature and people.
From December 2025 to May 2026, participants will benefit from a combination of online learning and in-person bootcamps designed for working professionals.
This blended learning model ensures flexibility while fostering collaboration and peer learning across the region.

Applicants should have an active role in developing or implementing environmental or sustainability initiatives and a strong motivation to integrate biodiversity into their organization’s strategy or operations.
What makes the BiPP SEA distinctive is its Heart, Head, and Hand approach:
Heart: Builds motivation, trust, and alliances by aligning personal values with institutional priorities, and by engaging peers and stakeholders who will support the project.
Head: Deepens understanding of biodiversity challenges, policy drivers, and nature-based solutions to shape evidence-driven problem statements and strategies.
Hand: Equips participants with practical tools for implementation—covering prototyping, governance, budgeting, and risk management.
Together, these dimensions ensure that each project is strategic, evidence-based, and actionable—ready to deliver measurable impact.
Southeast Asia is one of the world’s richest and most diverse biodiversity regions, encompassing tropical forests, mangroves, coral reefs, peatlands, and river basins. This natural wealth supports food security, water regulation, and livelihoods for hundreds of millions of people.
However, rapid land-use change, deforestation, urbanization, and resource overexploitation are putting immense pressure on ecosystems. With over 20% of the planet’s animal, marine, and plant species, the region stands at the frontline of the sixth mass extinction.
The BiPP SEA seeks to address these challenges by helping institutions translate biodiversity awareness into tangible, context-specific action plans. Participants will learn to integrate biodiversity into organizational strategies, budgets, and performance indicators—ensuring long-term environmental and economic sustainability.
Interested candidates are invited to review the program information carefully before applying.
Applications imply full commitment to all program components.
