Developing Capacity
BirdLife projects aim to develop and strengthen existing or potential BirdLife partners. Site-based conservation projects seek long-term solutions, often by developing sustainable institutions to manage resource use. This may be at village level, for example, enabling groups of forest users to regulate their use of resources and exclude uncontrolled use by outsiders. They may also include training to develop local competence in technical skills, biodiversity monitoring, agricultural practices, resource management, conservation or forestry.
