Starting the year off strong, our most recent research has been published in the journal Environmental Development, revealing the relationships that exist between human well-being and environmental outcomes in Indonesia and the role a Community-Led Integrated Landscape Initiative (ILI) plays in addressing positive outcomes for both.
The study, titled "Understanding the Interactions between Human Well-Being and Environmental Outcomes through a Community-Led Integrated Landscape Initiative in Indonesia" is a comprehensive evaluation of our approach, measuring community well-being, participation, and environmental outcomes over time.
We found that the ILI approach produced positive results for all sectors. Community-led participation and improvements in human well-being and livelihoods are associated with reduced deforestation, reduced poaching rates, and lower levels of land clearing.
"This study demonstrates the powerful potential of community-led initiatives to drive positive change," said paper author Adam Miller. "By empowering communities to take charge of their own environment, we can create sustainable solutions that benefit both people and the planet."
The results will support us in the broader global call for community-based conservation models to adapt more community-led practices, where project participants are involved in program design, implementation, and evaluation in partnership with project implementers.
For people and the planet.
Thank you again for all your support.
