Our Core Values

Driven by our deep love for our community, our wildlife and landscapes, we believe that inspired, empowered and involved communities change the world. This allows us to live by our core values that are:

Transparency & Accountability

We maintain open-book management,

publish annual

reports, and use community

scorecards for mutual accountability.

Respect for our community

We integrate traditional pastoralist

and ecological knowledge

with modern science for more

effective solutions.

Community Ownership

We facilitate; communities lead.

All projects originate from participatory

planning and require

community co-investment.

Equity and Inclusion

We prioritize the inclusion of

women, youth, and marginalized

groups in governance, benefits,

and training.

Evidence-Based Decision-Making

Our M&E system is not just for

reporting, but for continuous

learning and program adaptation.

Sustainability
&
Resilience

We design for the long term,

building social, economic, and

environmental systems that can

withstand shocks.
