Securing Land Rights for Communities

Protecting the collective land rights of forest-dependent communities is essential for maintaining forest cover and ensuring long-term sustainability. Our community-centered approach engages and empowers Indigenous populations, reinforcing their role as stewards of the land and safeguarding their health, safety, and livelihoods. These efforts are crucial to the overall success of conservation initiatives.

Ensuring Fair and Full Community Benefits

In collaboration with partners like USAID, the focus is on community-centered forest conservation that balances sustainable forest management with alternative livelihoods. This approach reduces pressure on forests, promotes long-term sustainability, and ensures that communities benefit fully and fairly. Supporting diverse income sources helps create resilient communities that contribute to environmental stewardship.

Creating Sustainable Financial Pathways

REDD+ offers a sustainable alternative to the short-term gains of deforestation. Reliable, ongoing financial support empowers communities to prioritize long-term conservation and sustainable development over immediate, less sustainable land uses. Financial stability is key to enabling communities to make decisions that protect both their future and the environment.

Promoting Sustainable Agriculture

Sustainable farming practices are essential to preventing deforestation and enhancing soil health. Our IBIS Rice initiative exemplifies this approach, offering farmers economic opportunities while protecting forests. This strategy boosts biodiversity and yields, demonstrating the broader social and environmental benefits of sustainable agriculture.
