Bianca Nicole Lerma

Fundraising Campaigns Officer

Bianca discovered her passion for the environment and conservation at a young age. Being a diver, her encounter with a significant coral bleaching incident prompted her to get into ocean conservation. She volunteered with local NGOs to broaden her knowledge and gain relevant experience. Her previous experience includes coral research, coral and fish identification, and helping train stakeholders from local communities in coral reef assessment methods.

She initially joined LAMAVE as a volunteer for the Northern Palawan Manta Ray Research and Conservation Project as part of the Iskolar ng Dagat program. She went on to lead the said project until 2024.

Bianca is currently the Fundraising Campaigns Officer, developing and executing campaigns to raise support for the NGO’s different programmes and projects.
