They outline best practices for governance, financial management, land protection, and community engagement. By adhering to these standards, land trusts can ensure they protect natural resources, manage their operations responsibly, and maintain public trust. These practices promote accountability and transparency, ensuring that conservation efforts are sustainable and beneficial to both the environment and local communities.
