Mobile Indigenous Peoples and Poverty and Conservation Learning Group
(9 December 2005 by Dawn Chatty)
We are pleased to the announce the establishment of an international 'learning group' on poverty conservation linkages.This is an initiative which was launched in November 2004 and supported by the Ford Foundation. IIED has been working with a range of organisations: to scope out the need and demand for such a Group; to identify potential members' to explore alternative models and structures for the Group; to investigate its potential research; learning and communications activities; to document the development of the conservation-poverty debate over time; to map the ongoing initiatives of existing institutions and networks and to conduct preliminary reviews of on the ground experiences in conservation and poverty reduction. A Poverty and Conservation Learning Group will be meeting shortly in Cambridge. The outcome of that meeting will be posted on the IIED website.
