Community Training & Livelihoods
Empowering People.
Expanding Impact.
Suyian believes conservation must be community-powered. Through training, education, and sustainable livelihoods, we equip local people to lead the future of conservation — proving that when communities thrive, ecosystems endure.
The Challenge
Where Degraded Land Holds Communities Back
Many surrounding lands are degraded or abandoned, and opportunities for economic stability are limited.
Without training, governance, and access to markets, communities cannot fully benefit from conservation or protect their natural heritage.
our approach
Empowering Communities to Lead Conservation
- Suyian Soul: Hands-on training hub for grazing management and rangeland restoration.
- Livelihood Pathways: From herders to rangers, guides to educators.
- Cross-Border Collaboration: Working with neighbouring communities to restore degraded lands.
- Governance Support: Building local capacity for rangeland planning and management
how we do it
Using Cattle to Heal the Land
- Field-based training and peer learning.
- Access to regenerative beef markets through AgWild.
- Educational bursaries and school support, including Mouwarak Primary.
- Collaboration with Space for Giants for conflict-mitigation programs.
Why it matters
Empowered people protect the land they depend on.
Every skill learned and every job created strengthens the social foundation of conservation — turning communities into lasting allies of the wild.
