Globally we are in a situation where we are striving to protect the Earth’s extraordinary biodiversity from extinction. With CO2 destabilising the planet at an astonishing rate, and anthropogenic factors devastating vital habitats, worldwide conservation efforts have never been more critical. However, if we are to succeed and make a difference, there must be greater inclusion and engagement of local communities. From the depths of the Amazon rainforest, to Namibia’s arid landscapes, communities inhabit some of the world’s most remote corners, and depend on it for their survival.
