Our Holistic Approach
About
Win-Win Solutions for People and Nature
We recognize the deep interconnections among communities, wild species, and the diverse ecosystems they call home. As stewards of the land who depend on the natural world, people are at the heart of everything we do. By ensuring that each of our programs benefits human lives, conserves wildlife, and protects vital habitats, our Theory of Change results in a world where communities and wildlife coexist and thrive.

Engaged Communities for Lasting Results
Together with local people, we co-create and co-implement every one of our programs. By sharing our deep expertise in community engagement with new partners through our ACTIVE™ Community Engagement outreach program, we're scaling our impact in Tanzania and across Africa.
Local Solutions with Global Impact
Our holistic approach to conservation is grounded in a set of overarching themes that we address through all of our programs. We believe each of these themes is a vital part of solving some of the world’s most pressing challenges and advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
On the Cutting Edge of Conservation
We harness the power of data through a science-driven and adaptive approach. Importantly, we tap into the traditional knowledge of our community partners, empowering them to collect, visualize, and use real-time conservation data through custom technology tools.
Our Work Has Never Been More Urgent
Every gift – large or small – makes a powerful impact.
