Holistic Pastoralism

An Overview

LANCCI promotes conservation approaches that recognise communities as central actors in protecting biodiversity and ecological systems. Through its Conservation Through Sports initiative, LANCCI uses annual football tournaments as platforms to raise awareness on conservation, climate change, and sustainable natural resource management — creating safe spaces for youth participation and collective environmental responsibility.

Field Activities

01. Conservation Through Sports

The tournaments create safe spaces for youth participation while nurturing local talent and encouraging collective environmental responsibility.
