Community conservation works.
Strong local organizations make it possible.

Local organizations have the trust, knowledge, relationships, and staying power needed to sustain community governance of land and sea. Yet too often, they are overlooked and underfunded by the systems meant to support them. 

Menjadi works with local NGOs across Southeast Asia, helping them build stronger organizations so that Indigenous Peoples and community-led stewardship can thrive.
