Where We Work:

Simien Mountains

Our comprehensive landscape-level approach treats problems as opportunities for innovative conservation solutions that strengthen Simien Mountains communities.

These include:

  • Providing direct benefits for communities through cash-for-work landscape restoration, supporting foraging and horticulture, and establishing livelihood alternatives 
  • Fulfilling tourism potential through planning, infrastructure development, and small-business development
  • Strengthening park management by collaborating with stakeholders, facilitating grazing reduction, and enhancing wildlife protection
  • Developing eco-monitoring systems through training, tracking tools, and spatial analysis technologies
  • Delivering conservation education and awareness outreach to communities
