Wiki Knowledge Base

What is this wiki?

This wiki is a shared space where the Collaborative Learning Group can build a knowledge base on conservation enterprises. It is organized around the key questions from the group’s Learning Agenda (more info on this can be found here).

What is a conservation enterprise?

Conservation enterprises provide income to participants through the production and sale of goods and services such as ecotourism, beekeeping, and crafts. The hypothesis is that if participant income is increased, then that provides the motivation and ability for participants to discontinue unsustainable activities, resulting in reduced threats to biodiversity.
