Leverage tribal governance networks

Solution instantanée

by Manuai Matawai

Empower tribal leaders through their tribal governance networks as a tool for resource mobilization, management and conservation. Their participation is important. Our approach recognizes that healthy natural environments are more resilient to climate impacts and that the communities where we work are largely dependent on healthy ecosystems for their livelihoods and food security.
