Abstract

Over the last 10 years CARE and WWF have worked together at field level in as many as ten different locations, in most cases within the framework of an integrated conservation and development (ICD) programme. Working in areas of high biodiversity these ICD programmes are characterised by the existence of substantial and powerful interests from outside the local community. These interests may cover tourism, hunting concessions, genetic resources and environmental services such as water supply and carbon sequestration. There are notable success stories but in general the results from ICD projects have been disappointing. In many areas we are seeing little impact on poverty, and continued environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity despite major investment by governments and external donors. Reflecting on CARE’s experience we conclude that a key weakness has been that our analysis of poverty and environmental degradation and their inter-relationship has been limited in scale to household and community levels.
