This activity was a response to the session titled “Blue Carbon Ecosystems Conservation” during the Bali Ocean Days event, which featured three female panelists: Meizani Irmadhiany (Senior Vice President & Executive Chair / Konservasi Indonesia), Dina Kosasih (Executive Director / Pesisir Lestari), Prof. Selina Stead (Chief Executive Officer / Australian Institute of Marine Science), and Dr. Anna von Rebay (Founder / Ocean Vision Legal).
Meizani Irmadhiany, representing Konservasi Indonesia, shared her perspective on blue carbon ecosystem conservation as actions that can be taken to protect our oceans, promote collective health, maintain a healthy ecosystem, and support future economic development and food security.
