Sustainable Land Use Analyst
Germany
Offer
I am currently specializing in sustainable land use, forest and biodiversity conservation with a focus on preserving the livelihoods of Indigenous peoples and local communities. Theory of change: Advocating for policies developed not merely for Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPs & LCs) but in active collaboration with them, ensuring that their rights and insights drive sustainable development and conservation efforts. Development of tools and assessments for informed decision-making in complex ecosystems; fieldwork connecting policy with local impacts in crisis regions in Africa
NEED
* Ensuring the environmental policies translate effectively into on-the-ground actions that are co-created by local communities. * Overcoming bureaucratic and logistical obstacles for local communities to access resources
Call-to-Action
We should focus on listening carefully to each other, especially to those directly affected by our work. I am eager to learn from others about community development projects that have successfully represented the interests of the communities involved, and understand how they achieved this.
