community conservation

Community conservation is a participatory approach where local residents actively manage and protect natural resources, such as forests, wildlife, and water, within their own area. It emphasizes collaboration between communities, governments, and conservation organizations to ensure sustainable use and preservation of biodiversity. By involving local people, community conservation promotes economic benefits, cultural values, and environmental health, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility. This approach recognizes that those who live closest to natural resources are often best positioned to care for them, ensuring long-term conservation success that benefits both people and nature.
