Patrolling & Monitoring: When local people help with watching over these areas, it can cut down on illegal activities like hunting or cutting down trees.
Awareness & Education: When communities learn about why nature is important, they are more likely to support conservation efforts and follow the rules that protect it.
Sustainable Practices: Including local voices in decisions can lead to practices that are good for the environment and also help the people who live there make a living.
In the end, working together helps everyone feel responsible for taking care of our nature.
