WHERE Comoros
Summary
Deforestation on Anjouan (Comoros) threatens both biodiversity and human livelihoods. Conventional approaches to address this have been largely unsuccessful. We will draw on a decade of experience from Anjouan and insights from international research on conservation agreements (including a unique Randomized Control Trial of a Bolivian scheme) to design an innovative, conservation agreements approach to forest restoration ready for scaling up. Unusually, robust impact evaluation of outcomes will be built-in; contributing to
a culture change in conservation.
Darwin Initiative Round 32 is now open for applications! A new round of funding to support ambitious projects delivering impact for biodiversity and communities.
From scaling successful approaches to strengthening locally led conservation, explore key lessons shared by projects working on the front line of biodiversity action.
