Registered NGO • 00NGO/R/2372Our story
People closest to conserved landscapes are essential to their future.
Communities living near protected areas experience conservation through food systems, livelihoods, forests, wildlife interactions and a changing climate.
SICOCOI was established to connect those realities with practical conservation knowledge, resilient livelihood opportunities and research that communities and partners can use.
Conservation skills, secure livelihoods and stronger food systems.
We build skills and opportunities that can reduce poaching and unsustainable use of wood products.
