Our Approach

We deliver community-led conservation through practical field programmes with clear safeguards, informed participation, and evidence-based learning. Our approach integrates local knowledge with science, and supports partners with transparent delivery and accountability.

How we work

Our delivery model is community-led and evidence-based, with safeguards and learning built in.

FPIC and inclusive engagement

Informed participation and meaningful consent processes, with attention to women, youth, and vulnerable groups.

Co-design and field delivery

Solutions co-created with communities and local stakeholders, grounded in local knowledge and field realities.

Safeguards and risk management

Social and environmental safeguards, conflict-sensitive delivery, and clear accountability pathways.

Monitoring, evaluation and learning

Outcome tracking, verification, and adaptive learning to improve delivery over time.

FPIC in practice

We apply FPIC as a practical process, not a one-off document. It supports informed decisions, reduces conflict risk, and strengthens legitimacy of programme delivery.

Stakeholder identification

Information and dialogue

Community decision-making

Agreement and documentation

Ongoing feedback and grievance

Safeguards and accountability

Inclusion and participation

We design engagement to include women, youth, and marginalised groups, and document participation where appropriate.

Grievance and feedback pathway

We maintain a documented pathway for feedback and grievance handling, and respond transparently to issues.

Conflict-sensitive delivery

We identify risks early, manage trade-offs, and coordinate with local stakeholders to reduce unintended harm.

Due diligence materials and safeguarding documentation can be shared upon request.

Evidence and learning

Our evidence approach combines baselines, participatory verification, and outcome tracking across household, group, and landscape levels, then uses learning to improve programme delivery
