The Difference You'll Make
Positive Change for Marine Life (PCFML) advocates for a shift away from the exploitation of the ocean and towards understanding, education, and respect. Join us on this trek through Kerala and support our initiatives:
Rewilding our Floodplains - restoring critical blue forests, bringing back biodiversity and sequestering carbon.
Waste to Wealth - creating closed-loop solutions to managing solid and organic waste, while creating new economic opportunities through the development of community-led social enterprises.
Fishing for Change - exploring long-term solutions to over-harvesting of marine ecosystems.
By trekking through Kerala's tea plantations and grasslands and summiting Meesapulimala Peak, the second-highest peak in South India, you support our initiatives, which not only benefit marine life but also contribute to the well-being of coastal communities reliant on healthy oceans for survival.
We promote the long-term environmental, social, cultural, and economic value of a thriving ocean. Money raised will fund essential projects such as waste collection facilities and organic composting systems, demonstrating tangible support for sustainable initiatives in regions like India and the Solomon Islands.
In essence, trekking in Kerala becomes more than just an adventure; it becomes a tangible way to contribute to positive change for marine life and coastal communities worldwide.
