What we do:
We are an independent conservation organization, working to preserve the natural world for the benefit of people and wildlife. Whether it’s individuals, communities, businesses or governments, we’re part of a growing coalition calling on world leaders to put nature on a path to restoration by 2030. Together, we seek to protect and restore natural habitats, halt the mass extinction of wild fauna and flora, and ensure that our production and consumption patterns are sustainable.
The support project for the responsible management of communal and community forests in the TRIDOM landscape is part of the continuity of efforts to reverse the curve of loss of forest cover and biodiversity. The aim is to ensure that the exploitation of communal and community forests complies with standards that contribute to respect for the environment and the well-being of local populations.
