Our Commitment
Local communities, local resources for local change.
We are committed to...
the ethical and sustainable use of indigenous forest resources
to improve livelihoods and alleviate poverty.
building on indigenous knowledge and wisdom to strengthen
community capacity for poverty alleviation and climate
adaptation and mitigation
We work with local communities to improve the capacity for natural resource
management as a way of increasing incomes, improving quality of life and protecting and preserving the natural environment as a tool for climate resilience.
Our strategy capitalizes on indigenous knowledge to build a robust environment for people and planet. Central to our strategy is the belief that forest resource management, income generation and climate adaption are not individualized and isolated but interconnected and integrated interventions that can effectively address poverty and climate change.
