Value proposition

Our methodology protects people and nature where development is happening.

Farms, forests and plantations provide people with food, ecosystem services and products like timber, paper and fuel. However, they are part of natural landscapes that are home to important species and are essential to local communities. It is vital to identify and protect the most important environmental and social features within these landscapes to avoid their damage or destruction. These features are called High Conservation Values or ‘HCVs’.
