Policy and Community Governance
Long-term conservation success depends on strong institutions, effective policies, and community participation in decision-making. We support processes that strengthen local conservation governance and promote legal and policy mechanisms that secure biodiversity and ecosystems for future generations. We work with local communities, government agencies and other stakeholders to facilitate conservation planning, governance and protected area initiatives.
