SECTION TITLE
The conversion of once pristine habitat for human use is one of the leading drivers of the widescale decline in biodiversity. Working with local communities is an essential part of our Rewild Our World strategy as the needs of people, as well as wildlife, must be taken into account to ensure the long-term survival of these ecosystems. In this issue, we focus on our work to rewild wetlands and dry forests in Madagascar, and the Terai grasslands in India.
OU R WORLD
The encroachment by human settlements, and in particular the conversion of land to agriculture, has heaviliy impacted the wildlife that inhabit these increasingly rare and fragile environments. Working alongside local communities, we aim to restore these habitats and the unique biodiversity they contain, and also provide a powerful example of how communities can manage an ecosystem to benefit both people and wildlife.
