Conservation needs a wider tent to succeed
Our Services
Our approach is pragmatic, collaborative, and grounded in trust. We partner closely with Indigenous peoples, local communities, and mission-driven organizations, centering local leadership while applying human rights–based conservation principles in ways that reflect real-world constraints. Through deep listening and shared problem-solving, we help organizations build clarity, alignment, and momentum—ensuring strategies are both ambitious in vision and practical in execution.
Program Strategy
Design and strengthening of inclusive, community-centered conservation and climate programs with a strong emphasis on integrating social science into biodiversity and natural resource initiatives. Support for responsible implementation through environmental and social safeguards, risk mitigation approaches, and accountability frameworks that reinforce trust, equity, and long-term impact in community-engaged work.
Governance Support
Board development, governance modernization, and leadership diversification strategies that strengthen institutions and prepare them for growth and transition. Philanthropic and fundraising work grounded in community-led outcomes, helping organizations translate vision into funder-ready strategies, compelling investment cases, and durable financial sustainability.
Executive Coaching
Executive coaching for non-profit leaders navigating complexity, growth, and institutional change. Structured, confidential support focused on strategic clarity, values-aligned decision-making, team development, and adaptive leadership in high-stakes contexts. Designed to help leaders move from reactive management to intentional stewardship, this work cultivates durable leadership practices, strengthens board and stakeholder relationships, and builds the confidence required to guide organizations through transition while staying anchored in purpose.
