Evolving Conservation: Case Study
Acting as an enabler, facilitator and connector, we provide conservation allies with the tools to deliver game-changing programmes. Our actions empower local stakeholders, supporting them with new skills, knowledge and networks to enhance their stewardship of orangutan landscapes. Together with our vital in-country partners, we work with frontline NGOs, the private sector, local communities, the international community, and national, regional and local government.As part of our commitment to Evolving Conservation, through long-term, committed relationships, we continuously strengthen the capacities and leadership of our local, on-the-ground partners to manage and protect orangutan habitat.
Our frontline partners have received training from our Environmental Anthropologist in community engagement processes, using ethnographic methods, including participant observation, live-in, semi-structured interviews and personal life histories.
This has enabled us to develop a genuine and trustful relationship with local communities in our key areas of work, enabling us to gain a much better understanding of the socio-political dynamics that we must take into account to make sure our programmes are effective and fair.
