Who participates in the living landscapes program and approach?
One of the primary goals of the living landscapes program is to identify and engage key stakeholders in the conservation process. One way this is achieved is through a participatory and iterative threats analysis process. Stakeholders are invited to contribute data, evaluate the quality and gaps in the data, and identify a set of threats to be addressed. Participants then suggest institutions and actions to address each threat. Through this process stakeholders themselves identify problems and actors best suited to address them, identify areas for institutional strengthening or coordination and in the process strengthen their involvement and faith in the conservation process.
