How they approach the work

Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.

  • Community-Empowered, Locally Led Conservation
    methodology: locally_led_conservation
    By building local capacity and supporting community-led initiatives, we produce more effective and resilient conservation outcomes, because local communities hold the knowledge, agency, and long-term stake needed for successful stewardship.
  • Interconnected Liberation and Multispecies Justice
    methodology: collective-liberation
    By recognizing the interdependence of human, animal, and ecological well-being, we advance collective liberation, because harm to one form of life reverberates across all, and true conservation must be rooted in justice and dignity for all beings.
  • Transformative Conservation through Inner and Outer Change
    methodology: transformative conservation
    By integrating personal transformation (inner work) with ecological action (outer work), we produce more sustainable and just conservation outcomes, because lasting change requires shifts in both individual consciousness and societal structures.
