An inclusive approach to conservation efforts is critical to addressing the interconnected and complex issues caused by climate change. At WI-HER, we focus on strengthening the resilience and skills of local communities to improve biodiversity and conservation efforts, with an emphasis on working with youth and women and providing them with the tools and resources they need to be active participants in conservation efforts and more.
- We catalyze behavior change teams to identify challenges and design local solutions that improve their environments.
- We strive to break the link between climate change and gender-based violence.
- We foster community ownership and accountability by enabling local organizations and stakeholders with the skills, resources, and tools needed to develop solutions
- We stimulate economic growth by working often marginalized groups, including women.
