Protecting Nature.
Empowering Communities.

Conservation that considers livelihoods

For families near the park, protecting wildlife and protecting crops are connected concerns. Our Elephant Project explores practical ways to reduce human–wildlife conflict.

Community conservation interests also include ecological monitoring, tree planting, beekeeping and habitat protection. These approaches recognise that healthy ecosystems and viable livelihoods need to advance together.

Agriculture, research and local opportunity

The Ihamba Coffee Project focuses on coffee-growing skills, processing, market opportunities and women’s economic participation. Our Honey Project connects beekeeping with income opportunities and human–wildlife coexistence.

Research that people can use

EcoLab is an online knowledge-sharing initiative covering conservation, tourism and geology. Our research interests also include soil science, biodiversity and carbon emissions. We welcome collaboration that makes findings useful to communities.
