Why attend
Why do some community economies thrive while others struggle? This session dives into bold experiments from India, Brazil, and Zambia that reveal both the promise and the pitfalls of linking livelihoods with conservation.
Session Description
From fishers and bamboo artisans in India, to Amazonian associations managing pirarucu, to Zambian communities shaping Game Management Areas, this session showcases diverse models of community-led conservation economies. Each story reveals how secure rights, fair markets, and strong governance can unlock ecological and social benefits—while also exposing the fragility of gains when policies, markets, or institutions fall short.Organised by
