Srabani Roy
Senior Director of Conservation Partnerships, Asia-Pacific Field Division
Srabani currently leads the conservation partnerships team in Conservation International’s Asia-Pacific Field Division and its efforts to strengthen strategic engagements with public, private, and foundation partners and donors. She supports the division in building, refining and maintaining a partnerships and fundraising strategy that is tied to the Asia-Pacific field division’s strategy and goals — and implemented through impactful partnerships and funding for the region. She cultivates and manages government, donor, and partner relations and communications for the region.
An environmental specialist with over 20 years of experience in sustainable development, Srabani provides strategic leadership on natural resource management and policy, freshwater resources, ecosystems services, climate change adaptation, green growth and environmental governance programs throughout Asia-Pacific and the United States. Srabani joined Conservation International in 2018 as the regional director for the Greater Mekong programs, based in Cambodia. During her four-year tenure, the program’s staffing, funding and impact doubled in size. She led the development and negotiations for complex blended finance projects, REDD+ projects, as well as freshwater projects, across the entire country.
Prior to joining Conservation International, Srabani served as the deputy director and head of programs for Asia and the Pacific for the inter-governmental organization, Global Green Growth Institute. She has also served as the Asia regional director for the International Water Management Institute, and has held senior leadership roles as the environment theme director and associate director of programs for The Asia Foundation, based in California.
Srabani has a master’s degree in energy and environmental analysis from Boston University, a master’s in journalism from Columbia Journalism School at Columbia University and a bachelor’s degree in geology from Beloit College, Wisconsin. She is currently based in Conservation International’s regional hub in Singapore.
