Testimonial from UN Women Vietnam
“When I met Christine Amour-Levar and the members of the HER Planet Earth expedition team to Son Doong Cave in Vietnam, I felt inspired by their commitment to wanting to make a difference in the lives of women in need. Their desire to contribute to empowering rural and ethnic minority women in Vietnam so as to help them develop climate-resilient livelihoods is admirable and I was genuinely thrilled to receive their support and partnership. It made me think of the need for all of us to join forces if we want to achieve sustainable development that is inclusive of all women and men, girls and boys.”

Testimonial from Conservation International
"HER Planet Earth raised funds for women, wildlife such as baby elephants, and a better, more peaceful Kenya during their two-week expedition earlier this month. I am so proud to have been a part of this exceptional group of women showing compassion and leadership at a time in human history when we need it more than ever. HER Planet Earth is an incredible organization with a gifted, spirited, inspiring leader in Christine Amour-Levar. The Kenya expedition I recently participated in was not only personally fulfilling – it’s always a privilege to experience the wilderness and all it contains, especially powerful mammals such as elephants – but it was an experience with a higher purpose that transcended the self. It was as though we formed a small society of change-makers that would support others as well as ourselves. Every woman, no matter her background, supported one another and became fast friends. I literally feel I can call upon any of them, heck, even all of them, if I am ever in need of assistance. The esprit-de-corps is authentic, genuine and warm.
In a sense, the expedition allowed us to form our own herd, a group that could tackle our planet’s most pressing problems, not with pessimism and fear, but with proof of what works combined with joy. The joy emanates from the organization’s founder, Christine. She exudes curiosity, a sense of playfulness, and a real capacity for laughter and camaraderie. She calls everyone a “team member” and consistently reinforces that we are on the same team, on her team, on our team. She navigates compromise with ease and grace and keeps the group updated with the logistics. This is not easy to do while hiking a distance of 60 miles and transferring the group between planes, jeeps, and accommodations! She worked with the best guides and tour operators around. So I would rank the travel portion of the expedition with the highest possible rating. Team members reported that all skill and physical fitness levels were made to feel comfortable. Everyone finished the hike in safety and comfort. Aside from some sore muscles, the sense of accomplishment every woman felt was palpable.
The team component, the learning journey we were on together to understand climate change, the economy and wildlife, contributed to outstanding fundraising. The outcomes of every woman’s fundraising efforts are transformational to the projects that the team supports and for the women in the communities that interacted with the expedition. Beyond the face-to-face interactions, Her Planet Earth also inspired people they never met, such as the staff members in the United States working for Conservation International, for example. And my own mother, who commented to me that this work was so important, she just had to support it.
If you’re looking to have an impact on our planet's future, learn about the world in which we live, see new places, and make lifelong friends to boot, this is the organization for you."

"The collaboration between the Sulubaaï Foundation and HER Planet Earth provides a unique opportunity for an adventurous group of women from around the world to connect directly with the rich but threatened marine life of Palawan, while supporting a model of community-led conservation that delivers tangible and sustainable results. We wholeheartedly believe in the power of women to create change, impact a community, a nation and the world - for the better. And we are proud to work closely with our partners, HER Planet Earth, on this important conservation initiative.”
