Living with snow-leopards: enhancing capacity for ethical conservation and livelihoods
Key Facts
FUNDING SCHEME Capability & Capacity
VALUE £200,000
WHERE Nepal, Mongolia, Kyrgyzstan
Summary
Practitioners are rarely trained in local community engagement, often resulting in ineffective nature conservation and livelihood initiatives, or in human rights infringements. We will enhance the capacity of 100 conservation practitioners from 9 of the 12 snow leopard range countries in ethical community engagement for conservation and enhanced livelihoods. We will bolster our existing Darwin Initiative-funded program with 4 new training toolkits and also create policy advisories for government uptake through an existing ntergovernmental alliance.
