restoration & monitoring, addressing human-wildlife conflict and
strengthening protection); social development (community empowerment,
sustainable livelihoods); as well as engaging with external drivers such as
nature-safeguards in infrastructure, land use change, and agricultural
production.



Approaches include research & monitoring, capacity building

multiple partners, including local communities, industries, government
agencies, and CSOs.
