Locally led conservation

The ability of local institutions and individuals to address conservation challenges is essential to their long-term success – particularly in some of the world’s most biodiversity-rich areas. Ensuring local people, organisations and individuals have access to decision-making processes, training and support, and feel empowered to find conservation solutions are crucial for effective locally led conservation.

Fauna & Flora has always worked on the premise that solutions to conservation problems ultimately lie in the hands of in-country conservation organisations and local communities. We actively promote the knowledge, enthusiasm and potential of local conservation champions within jointly run projects and support them to increase their effectiveness.
