What We Do

what-we-do

PRCF is a small organisation composed of nationals from host country programs and international specialists.  We further conservation of biological diversity through the direct involvement of stakeholder communities, while promoting self-sufficient and sustainable livelihoods.

Our biodiversity conservation programs target highly threatened species in their habitats.  We also work on sustainable livelihood programs, particularly aimed at rural people living adjacent to protected areas, remnant forests, and degraded lands. Through our activities, we foster the potential to sustain the natural environment while upholding the cultural and social identity of rural communities.

Strong community participation, combined with PRCF’s long-term experience and technical capacities, enables us to develop and carry out innovative, site-specific conservation management strategies.  The result is projects that involve, empower, and benefit local community stakeholders, while promoting the conservation of biological resources.
