Our Work · 01
fair, community-led conservation
Healthy ecosystems depend on fair, collaborative decisions. TEST works to strengthen community participation and support natural resource management shaped by the people who know these landscapes best.
When communities have a voice, landscapes have a future.
Ecosystem Governance
For generations, Indigenous and local communities have developed knowledge, institutions, and practices that help sustain land, water, livestock, and wildlife. Strong ecosystem governance recognizes this experience and creates space for communities to shape decisions that affect their lives and territories.
TEST supports collaboration between communities and relevant stakeholders to encourage inclusive decision-making, responsible natural resource management, and peaceful coexistence between people, livestock, wildlife and nature.
|“Lasting conservation is built with communities not simply around them.”
