SUSTAINABLE ALTERNATIVE LIVELIHOOD SCHEMES

Sustainable alternative livelihood schemes for protection of endangered species and their habitats

Alternative Livelihood Schemes are an important part of conservation initiatives. They expose the people to extra income and take the pressure of the species of conservation concern. Alternative livelihood schemes serve as a boost to the local economy and thus are always great undertakings for such communities. When people really understand the motive for establishing the program, it goes a long way to improve the fortunes and survival potential of the species. It only becomes successful and sustainable when proper management regimes are instituted, with constant monitoring of the program.

We appreciate that whiles Biodiversity must prosper in its habitat, so must human livelihoods improve sustainably.
