COMMUNITY-BASED CONSERVATION PROJECTS
These projects aim to engage local communities in biodiversity conservation efforts, focusing on empowering women and youth, promoting sustainable livelihoods, and encouraging active participation in conservation activities. Implemented by WICO in collaboration with local partners and community groups, the project recognizes that community involvement is crucial for successful and long-term conservation outcomes. Through this initiative, WICO works to ensure that conservation is integrated into the daily lives of local people.
Women-Led Conservation Groups Program
This is the cornerstone of this project, aiming to empower women in local communities by supporting their active involvement in conservation activities such as habitat restoration, waste management, and environmental education. This program provides training and resources in areas such as sustainable agriculture, beekeeping, ecotourism, and natural resource management, linking income-generating activities with conservation efforts. These initiatives not only help conserve local biodiversity but also provide economic incentives for women's participation in conservation activities.
Youth Empowerment through Conservation Program
This project focuses on empowering youth, particularly young girls, by equipping them with vital skills in conservation and providing mentorship to foster future leaders in environmental protection. Through comprehensive training and hands-on experience, the initiative aims to build capacity, raise awareness, and create opportunities for youth to actively contribute to conservation efforts.
