"People-centered conservation"
CREE is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) that seeks practical solutions to bridging the gap between sustainable development and environmental conservation. We achieve this through programs that focus solely on poverty alleviation and resolving human-wildlife conflict.
Our principle goal is to channel human and financial resources from industrialized economies directly into the hands of capable conservation leaders from the developing world. This gives them the ability to design, direct, and ultimately evolve their conservation projects for the benefit of local livelihoods in ways they see fit, given the socio-economic realities surrounding them.
