CCM
Our Mission
The Communities, Conservation and Markets project’s (CCM) mission is to provide strategies, tools and knowledge networks that integrate sustainable agriculture and land management with conservation of biodiversity and ecosystem services that contribute to rural productivity and livelihoods. Our focus is on supporting rural resource managers to sustainably manage their landscapes using ecoagriculture approaches and payments for ecosystem services (PES). Our goal is to enhance investments in rural areas and improve local and regional policies to benefit both communities and environmental conservation efforts.
