Place-based Conservation

Place-based conservation is a strategy that focuses on protecting specific areas and ecosystems rather than individual species. This approach recognizes the importance of the relationships between plants, animals, and their environment. By prioritizing entire habitats, place-based conservation aims to preserve biodiversity, maintain ecological balance, and support local communities. It often involves the participation of local stakeholders, such as residents and businesses, ensuring that conservation efforts are both effective and culturally relevant. Essentially, it's about safeguarding the unique characteristics of a particular place to sustain its natural richness for future generations.
