Conservation Livelihoods
Jersey Overseas Aid’s Conservation Livelihoods programme aims to promote a mutually beneficial and sustainable relationship between conservation and human development.
Our Conservation Livelihoods projects enable governments and communities to alleviate poverty without detriment to their surrounding environments, and the protection and revitalisation of threatened ecosystems in a way that improves the wellbeing, and independence, of those who live in or near them.
The programmes focus on vulnerable ecosystems such as natural forests, special reserves and areas of important scientific interest, which are under threat from population growth, habitat destruction or changing weather patterns. They promote participatory and inclusive natural resource management and sustainable livelihoods, developed to ensure that communities are able to grow their incomes without placing increased unsustainable pressure on their environment.
Since 2018, through our Conservation Livelihoods projects, JOA has directly catalysed sustainable change for over 690,000 people living across a range of key ecosystems, including afro-alpine forest, riverine forest, and wetlands.
