Selected References
Over the past years, we have contributed to a range of conservation initiatives, strategic processes and evaluations across different organisations and regions.
Our work has involved collaboration with international NGOs, donor institutions, foundations and companies seeking independent expertise in conservation strategy, programme design and evaluation.
Note: Working in complex and confidential contexts
Much of our work takes place in multi-stakeholder conservation settings and strategic processes involving donor institutions and NGOs. These contexts often involve sensitive information, which limits what can be shared publicly. Instead of simplified case descriptions, we aim to make our approach and way of working transparent.
