Community-led conservation empowers local communities to take charge of protecting their environment and natural resources through collaborative, science-based approaches.

More on: Community-led Conservation

The podcast episodes discussed highlight the importance of a community-led approach to conservation, where local communities are actively involved in and lead the efforts to protect the environment and natural resources in their regions.

This approach, exemplified by the Jane Goodall Institute's Tacare program, recognizes the value of integrating local knowledge and community participation with the use of cutting-edge technologies and scientific tools. By empowering local communities, this approach aims to create a more sustainable and inclusive model of conservation that benefits both people and the environment.

The episodes feature conversations with leaders in this field, such as Dr. Lilian Pintea and Alice Macharia, who discuss the evolution, successes, and scaling of the Tacare approach across the chimpanzee range.
