Our Strategic Focus Areas
Conservation rooted in communities, landscapes, and Indigenous knowledge systems.
LANCCI works across interconnected focus areas that strengthen ecological resilience, community governance, livelihoods, biodiversity conservation, and Indigenous stewardship.
Landscape Governance, IPLCs Rights & Environmental Justice
We work to restore fairness, voice, and accountability in how land and water resources are governed. Communities strengthen both customary and formal governance systems so Indigenous knowledge remains central in decision-making.
