Disrupting Nature’s Discourse

This groundbreaking project is the first to comprehensively assess the combined economic, conservation, and cultural benefits of non-commercial wild animal harvests in North America and southern Africa.

Location:

Based in Canada – North America and Southern Africa

Life Through Wildlife

This project aims to unlock the $30 billion potential of Southern Africa’s wildlife economy by strengthening Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) practices.

Enhancing the Impact of the IUCN Sustainable Use and Livelihoods Specialist Group

IUCN Human-Wildlife Conflict Specialist Group

This project provides critical support to governments developing policies to manage human-wildlife conflict (HWC), an escalating issue as human populations expand into wildlife habitats.

Location:

Global network with a focus in Africa

Strengthening Human-Wildlife Coexistence for Sustainable Conservation

Human-wildlife conflict (HWC), especially with elephants, is a growing challenge in Mozambique, endangering conservation and community livelihoods. As populations expand, conflicts intensify, leading to crop destruction, property loss, and diminishing tolerance for wildlife. This project supports a comprehensive HWC management system across 32 high-impact districts.

Location:

Based in Mozambique

Strengthening the Organisational Capacity of CLN

Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) across Southern Africa often face barriers to having their voices heard in decisions about natural resources that directly impact their lives. The Community Leaders Network (CLN) plays an essential role in advocating for these communities on issues like natural resource management, biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, and eco-tourism.

Location:

Namibia – Windhoek (but spreads out to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Tanzania, and Madagascar)

Voices of the People

This project amplifies the voices of Southern African rural communities who rely on sustainable wildlife management for their livelihoods and cultural heritage.

Location:

Based in Zimbabwe (but network spreads across South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, Angola, Tanzania, and Madagascar)
