Biodiversity is an important part of a healthy ecosystem that communities, including indigenous peoples and other vulnerable populations, depend on for food, livelihoods, and cultural identity. Given this critical link between biodiversity and human well-being, our approach to conservation focuses on empowering communities with best practices, strengthening rights and capacities, and ensuring access to information to sustainably use and protect biodiversity.

Learn about the Conservation Solutions Lab, a joint initiative between Chemonics and Arizona State University’s Center for Biodiversity Outcomes.
