Dear friends and colleagues,
It’s been three years, and our Alliance continues to grow into a powerful global community of conservation practitioners and Indigenous leaders championing a different kind of nature conservation rooted in equity, rights, and respect.
As we celebrate the Ethical Conservation Alliance’s 3rd anniversary on November 6th, we reflect with immense gratitude on how far we have come together. This journey is driven by two vital forces: our growing professional network and our expanding training workshops and toolkits, which are shaping university curricula and ranger programs worldwide and turning ethical principles into daily field practice. This year, we also launched a travel support program to amplify Indigenous voices and concerns across conservation platforms. Together, these efforts create a force-multiplying effect for people and nature alike.
On our third anniversary, we reflect on our shared mission to advance conservation that uplifts both nature and the human relationships sustaining them. We still have a long way to go, and we invite the wider conservation community to join us in working toward more inclusive and equitable conservation, grounded in rights, celebrating diverse values and knowledge systems, and addressing power imbalances.
Thank you for walking this path with us,
With warm regards,
Mica & Alifereti
