Implementing org
Summary
TGER is a network of over 450 volunteers whose membership comes from conservation organizations, community and indigenous peoples organizations, NGOs and grassroots organizations, governments, independent researchers and consultants, universities, and others. Each member has a demonstrated commitment to and expertise in governance of natural resources and/or human rights. Together, TGER’s members provide research, information, and action to support and engage IUCN members and partners in developing greater understanding and more effective action with respect to natural resource governance, equity, and human rights.
Outputs
1. Collaborating with IUCN members, partners, and offices to identify needs and ways to improve natural resource governance in field locations in Mongolia, Nepal, Indonesia, Bolivia, Argentina, Ethiopia, Niger, Iran, and Turkey.
2. Supporting “alert initiatives” including:
- Potential displacement of indigenous peoples from Nech Sar and Omo National Parks (Ethiopia) under a management arrangement between African Parks Foundation (APF) and the Government of Ethiopia.
- Potential loss of access to resources of indigenous populations after declaration of a new protected area in Mount Merapi National Park (Indonesia), supposed to be managed by a governmental agency without the participation of the local residents.
