About Resilience Maldives
Resilience Maldives was established in November 2019 with the purpose of restoring and researching marine ecosystems while supporting environmental protection efforts across the Maldives. Over time, Resilience Maldives expanded its role beyond consultancy and project collaboration, growing into a stronger community-driven initiative. In 2024, Resilience Maldives officially transitioned into a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO), continuing its work as a research-based environmental protection and advocacy group focused on sustainable solutions, conservation, and resilience-building for future generations.
Our story
We were motivated by a simple but powerful idea: our oceans, reefs, and islands aren’t just beautiful, they are our survival. Yet many environmental issues were being handled without enough long-term planning, data, or community involvement.
So in November 2019, we launched Resilience Maldives to restore and research marine ecosystems, and to work as an umbrella platform that could collaborate with other environmental projects and ventures. The goal was always bigger than one project , it was about building a network of people, research, and solutions that could create real change.
As the work grew, so did the responsibility. By 2024, Resilience Maldives transitioned into a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) so we could focus even more on environmental protection advocacy, research-driven initiatives, and community empowerment , helping shape a future where sustainability isn’t just a concept, but a lived practice.
What makes us different?
Resilience Maldives is different because we are not just an environmental organisation, we’re a research-based action platform built from local reality.
We combine science, community participation, and practical solutions to address environmental problems in the Maldives, especially those affecting marine ecosystems and climate resilience.
While many groups focus on awareness or isolated projects, Resilience Maldives works as a connector and catalyst, bringing together specialists, communities, and partner ventures under one umbrella, turning environmental ideas into measurable, long-term impact.
Who we work with
At Resilience Maldives, our work is designed to reach people and organisations who care about protecting the environment , especially the marine ecosystems of island nations like the Maldives, and who are ready to take action based on research, evidence, and long-term impact.
We work with communities, youth, environmental specialists, NGOs, government bodies, and private-sector partners who share the belief that sustainability must be practical, measurable, and community-driven.
"Resilience is our strategy, legacy our reward. Endure, Adapt, Prevail."
