Conservation Alliance, (CA) is a not-for-profit non-governmental environmental organization. CA brings together the people and skills needed to build Africa’s capacity to conserve biodiversity through sound science, local initiatives and good governance. We work with strategic partners to empower communities to lead in biodiversity conservation and create opportunities for economic growth and improved human wellbeing. Our multidisciplinary orientation provides a strong platform for discussing rural policy issues and increasing awareness of why investment in natural resources management and rural development is critical to reducing poverty, improving food security and enhancing biodiversity conservation. Our main areas of focus is to Promote Sustainable Agriculture, Cocoa Agroforestry and Livelihoods, Integrate biodiversity in development programs (including mining, oil and gas and other extractive industries), Conduct Research and program monitoring, Promote Community Access to Water, Health and Sanitation (WASH), Promote Renewable Energy and Climate Change (REDD+) and Promote public policies.
