Training Department

Haribon believes that training people to safeguard resources they depend on is key to conserving those resources. Who better to protect our urban green areas than young urbanites? Who better to protect the sea than the fisherpeople whose lives are tied to it? Who better to protect the forests than the communities whose fortunes are directly linked to them?

We drive the credo “think globally, act locally,” by supplementing local expertise with over 40 years of conservation experience and science to spark effective conservation action.
