We promote the integration of local traditional practices in policy-making. One such example is the incorporation of the Tara Bandu practice, a traditional law invoked to restrict activities and thus protect natural resources in an area. This acknowledgment of local custom was key to the success of the “no-take” zone program in Nino Konis Santana National Park.
We also strive to identify the key resources to be protected through sustainable practices. We assess and monitor ongoing projects to improve forest practices alongside local communities and government stakeholders.
