Communities, Conservation and Livelihoods

The Community Conservation Research Network seeks to better understand and support the links between sustainable livelihoods and environmental conservation from a community perspective. We explore how communities are addressing their environmental and economic challenges through conservation initiatives that meet their livelihood priorities, and how government policy can best support this local stewardship.
 
We hope that you find this newsletter of interest. Here we report on recent activities of our CCRN team, and highlight videos about Indigenous experiences from two of our CCRN research sites – Nuu-chah-nulth First Nations on the Pacific coast of Canada, and urban Indigenous communities in Kjipuktuk (Halifax) on the Atlantic coast of Canada.
 
We also encourage you to explore our website for resources on Communities, Conservation and Livelihoods, and for some insights and key messages based on the CCRN’s work.
