Communities at the Heart of our Mission
Putting communities at the heart of our mission and operations ensures that every decision we make is driven by their needs and aspirations, fostering sustainable development and meaningful impact.
LEA achieves community-led, ecosystem-based multifunctional landscapes by engaging local communities in sustainable land management practices. Through education and capacity building, LEA empowers communities to integrate traditional knowledge with modern eco-friendly agricultural techniques. They promote holistic rangeland management and climate adaptation strategies, ensuring sustainable use of natural resources. By advocating for policy changes and supporting traditional land governance, LEA helps communities preserve biodiversity, combat soil erosion, and maintain water sources. This collaborative approach fosters resilient landscapes that meet the diverse needs of people's cultures, livelihoods and the environment.
