What we do
We strengthen governance, attract investment, and advocate for policies that unlock the full potential of WMAs.
Sustainable conservation starts with local communities leading resource management. By actively engaging in conservation and benefiting from wildlife, they gain ownership, ensuring long-term commitment to protecting their natural environment.
Once communities are empowered, strengthening governance and capacity ensures effective conservation through well-managed WMAs, training, and resources. Next, creating a supportive policy and investment environment involves advocacy for policies that promote community-led conservation and attract sustainable investments.
Finally, achieving sustainable conservation and community benefits occurs when WMAs generate economic rewards, attract private investment, and maintain ecological balance. This integrated approach fosters long-term conservation success, economic growth, and improved livelihoods, ensuring a positive relationship between communities and their environment.
CWMAC’s model empowers communities to take charge of conservation while ensuring sustainability and equitable benefits.
