Guidelines

Make it valuable and it will be cherished.

Local communities figure prominently in all our projects.It’s their environment and their home, and we need their full support to capitalize on your investment. This is why building infrastructure, conducting awareness programs, and employing locals are all part of every investment strategy. We also aim to ensure that the community benefits from soil and water protection, the selling of sustainable forest products, and ecotourism.

Guarding against illegal encroachment is one of the greatest challenges.

Local farmers, timber and mining companies, and others with vested interests may seek to exploit what we seek to protect, and it’s not easy keeping trespassers out of such large areas. Local communities are the first to detect such intruders. Awareness programs aim to help people understand what a healthy forest means to their lives and livelihood. If we manage to engage the community, employing locals as forest rangers and involving them in ecotourism, they will come to see their forest as their most valuable asset. And that is the best protection a forest can enjoy.

Local employment matters so much that the only outsider is our project developer. All project managers are locals who have been well prepared to continue managing this valuable asset long after initial goals have been met.

Team: South-to-south cooperation

South-to-south cooperation

South-to-south cooperation is a term coined to describe communities in similar situations who come together and learn from one another.

We believe strongly in its merits, using this method when climatic conditions and the ground realities that these communities face are much the same.

Our coaches are rooted in such communities,and know how to help people help themselves. For example, people with stronger water management or farming skills peer-educate others with less advanced skills in these areas.
