Stewardship

We foster local leadership within six landscapes around the world (our Solutionscape) by strengthening governance structures, supporting inclusive decision-making, and ensuring that local stakeholders drive and own conservation and development efforts. In doing so, we guarantee the long-term stewardship of both ecosystems and livelihoods.
