We want to help local villages organize their own efforts to protect their own open space.   Enlist support from other conservation oriented organizations and governments.   We want to collaborate closely with other like-minded organizations in the pursuit of conservation. Together we will be more effective in protecting open space. There is more need and opportunity for conservation than any single group can meet.
