Description
Fauna & Flora International (FFI) is an international conservation body, founded over 100 years ago. FFI has pioneered sustainable conservation work that tackles problems holistically, providing solutions that simultaneously help wildlife, humans and the environment. FFI endeavours to ensure that its conservation activities do not disadvantage or undermine poor, vulnerable or marginalized people that are dependent upon or live adjacent to natural resources, and wherever possible will seek to conserve biodiversity in ways that enhance local wellbeing and social equity.
Projects
- Securing tenure and the sustainable use of African blackwood (‘mpingo’) for villagers in Kilwa District, Tanzania with our partners the Mpingo Conservation Project
- Creating a model for community engagement and incentivising natural resource management to prevent unsustainable destruction of a State Park in Mato Grosso state, one of the richest areas of biodiversity in Brazil
- Building the capacity of Tibetan Herders to maintain the grasslands on which they are dependent through developing effective resource management plans and securing government support for implementation
- Influencing national policy decisions and working with local authorities in post-conflict Liberia to ensure that conservation and community needs are taken into account despite pressure from commercial logging and mining interests
- Improving food security and promoting protection of the Critically Endangered Siamese crocodile, and its habitat, among communities in Cambodia's Cardamom Mountains
FFI has a Conservation, Livelihoods and Governance team, which supports regional programmes to take a holistic, people-centred approach to biodiversity conservation. The team facilitates the capacity development of FFI staff and partners to better understand and address the needs and rights of local communities in their conservation programmes. This is achieved through providing briefing notes, guidelines, tools, training and mentoring to ensure that these issues are taken into account in the contextual analysis, planning and review of our programmes.
