PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES
People Are at the Centre
Rangelands are not empty spaces.
They are landscapes where people live, work, raise livestock, farm, conserve nature and build their livelihoods.
For this reason, sustainable landscape management must include the people who depend on those landscapes.
Community Participation
ARCBP seeks to work with local communities, landowners, ranches and institutions in developing projects that respond to local circumstances.
Building Local Capacity
Technology transfer and programme implementation are intended to involve local communities and build practical local capacity.
This can include knowledge, skills, monitoring, project participation and opportunities created through sustainable land-based activities.
Resilient Livelihoods
Our approach seeks to support opportunities connected to:
- Sustainable agriculture
- Livestock and rangeland management
- Restoration
- Renewable energy
- Biomass utilisation
- Biodiversity
- Water resources
- Eco-tourism
- Other nature-based opportunities
From Beneficiaries to Partners
Our ambition is to move beyond viewing communities simply as beneficiaries.
Communities can become active participants in the development, management and long-term success of landscape projects.
