Community Conservancies
COMMUNITY CONSERVANCIES
These are organisations created to support the management of community-owned land for the benefit of livelihoods.
They provide indigenous communities with a framework and the right incentives to protect the diverse wildlife they share the landscape with.
Conservancies promote the sustainable management of rangelands and fisheries,
And provide a vehicle for raising the standards of living of marginalised communities living in close proximity to protected areas.
