Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation (IRDNC)

Integrated Rural Development and Nature Conservation (IRDNC) is an approach that balances improving the lives of rural communities with protecting the environment. It aims to create sustainable ways for people to earn a living—such as farming or tourism—while preserving natural resources like wildlife, forests, and water sources. By combining community development initiatives with conservation efforts, IRDNC promotes environmentally friendly practices that benefit both people and nature, supporting long-term resilience and harmony between human activity and the environment.
