How Community-Led Conservation Is Changing the Future

Conservation works best when it is shaped by the people who live closest to nature. Across the world, communities are leading the protection of species and habitats through traditional knowledge, innovation, and stewardship.

By placing local voices at the heart of conservation, we support solutions that last. From protecting nesting sites to restoring wetlands and managing fisheries, community-led initiatives deliver measurable benefits for both biodiversity and livelihoods.

This approach strengthens resilience — ensuring that conservation efforts continue long after projects end. When people are empowered to protect their environment, nature and communities thrive together.

The future of conservation is local, inclusive, and collaborative.
