Reading Time: 2 minutes

At the heart of Nareto Sanctuary’s mission is the belief that the health of wildlife and the wellbeing of communities are inextricably linked to Indigenous energy. The conservation organization recognized that the traditional conservation model, which is generally geared towards protecting local people’s wildlife, needs a major shift.

With this vision in mind, Nareto was created with the principle of protecting a natural vineyard and others where people and wildlife can live in harmony. This partnership recognizes that local communities are an important part of the solution rather than part of the problem.

Wildlife Conservation
Nareto reserve is home to many interesting and intelligent people and creatures. Endangered wildlife such as elephants, lions, giraffes and many bird species live here. Thanks to careful management and innovative conservation strategies, Nareto has become a sanctuary for these beautiful animals. Preventing violence within borders has reduced the threat to these species and allowed their populations to increase. An important aspect of Nareto’s success in wildlife conservation is its emphasis on education and information. By collaborating with projects such as local schools and community wildlife organizations, Nareto particularly encourages local residents’ responsibility and appreciation for their own heritage. This sense of ownership has proven to be a powerful force in protecting animals and their habitats.

Environmental Protection
In addition to wildlife, Nareto Conservancy has a strong commitment to protecting the environment. The Pisha region where Nareto lives is suffering from environmental degradation due to unsustainable land use such as overgrazing and deforestation. Nareto’s efforts contribute to the restoration of ecosystems through sustainable soil management, recycling and water conservation.

The Centre hopes to protect the environment beyond its borders. The stakeholders of Nareto actively work with neighbouring communities to share knowledge and best practices in sustainable resource management. Nareto recognizes that environmental health is important not only for wildlife, but also for the livelihood of the local people who depend on it.

Community Participation

Nareto partners with those living in and around the border, ensuring their voices are heard and their needs are met. This cooperation is important in terms of developing a sense of ownership and responsibility among local people.

One of Nareto’s most innovative initiatives is this community protection work. These programs provide local residents with jobs ranging from conservation and tourism to land management. Nareto enables communities to directly benefit from conservation efforts by providing sustainable livelihoods, reducing incentives to engage in crimes such as theft or illegal logging.

There conservancy also encourages local people to care for the land and wildlife by promoting education and awareness. Nareto works with schools and supports programs that promote cultural preservation among young people.

Nareto’s passion for community engagement extends to the decision-making arena. The Conservancy actively involves local leaders and community representatives in the development of policies and practices that directly affect them. This partnership gives the local community a say in the management of the borders, supporting the idea that conservation and community health are interrelated.
