A lot of land in Africa is ostensibly protected via community conservancies and private concessions, which create crucial landscape connectivity between national parks. But, too many fail because communities can’t make a decent living on them.

Healthy ecosystems.
Conserve Global finds concessions and conservancies that link and buffer national parks but are struggling. They set up community tenure and governance and co-develop management plans. From that solid base, they get money flowing into the community by stacking revenue from a variety of sources like carbon deals, eco-tourism, and high-value products.
Conservation with prosperity drives community-protected ecosystems across Africa.
Conserve Global has pulled together a systematic model from the best of many community-centered approaches. They’ve quickly established well-chosen pilots covering ~12K km2 in five key landscapes. They’ve developed partnerships with the right organizations and have demonstrated the strategic and problem-solving chops to overcome obstacles time and time again. This is a modern and much needed take on the conservation agreement approach to community stewardship.
