Our 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 conservation education, practical research and resilient livelihood opportunities that communities and partners can use.

Our purpose

Biodiversity conservation and environmental sustainability.

We work with communities and local stakeholders to build understanding, generate evidence and support action for wildlife, forests and ecosystems.

Our approach

Resilient livelihoods alongside healthy ecosystems.

We connect conservation goals with household well-being, climate resilience and positive coexistence between people and wildlife.
