The conventional approach to wildlife conservation in Asia is simply not working. The majority of the protected areas in Asia are merely ‘paper parks’ that are failing to protect wildlife or wildlife habitat effectively.
Asia’s unparalleled diversity of wildlife and wildlife habitats are demonstrably well protected in a network of flourishing conservation areas, which are supported both by local communities and national governments.
To fundamentally transform the practice of wildlife conservation in Asia by directly managing land for conservation and by doing so provide an insurance policy against extinction for Asia’s iconic species.
We are a newly-formed non-profit conservation organisation that creates refuges in which wildlife populations can recover and thrive for generations to come. Our model of direct management is a response to the current biodiversity crisis and allows us to re-build the foundations of conservation using a truly adaptive, transparent approach.
