Driven for Conservation

Achieving better understanding of biodiversity, protection of ecosystem functions, enhanced understanding of climate change and empowered resilient communities with intact value-system. 

A sustainable world in harmony with nature.

We work with researchers, communities and policy-makers to incorporate high-quality research into nature conservation.

Our Approach

We believe that local communities play a crucial role in conservation efforts. By involving communities, we are able to build relationships and partnerships that foster a sense of ownership and responsibility for the environment.

Our approach is guided by sound science and evidence-based research. We conduct thorough assessments and evaluations to determine the effectiveness of our interventions and make adjustments.

These projects follow a standard activity model – an initial meeting with forest user groups followed by a technical training in the use of camera traps to monitor mammals in their forest. The goal is help these CFUGs collect baseline information for better forest management and to build their capacity in wildlife monitoring.
