Can we help protect endangered wildlife and habitat while also building opportunities for impoverished communities around the world? Community-based conservation is an attempt to do just that by creating ways for local villages to benefit from the protection of local habitat and wildlife. Patrick Hossay will be discussing various community-based models of conservation that utilize eco-tourism, fair trade, and other alternatives to build stronger communities and protect precious resources.
