Community Engagement

AN ENGAGED COMMUNITY .

People depend on the natural world—its forests, fisheries and wildlife—for their ways of life. Conserving species, protecting habitats, and keeping our climate and environment healthy is good for all of us.

BHI’s Systems approach to conservation is rooted in the benefits nature provides to people and the role of communities plays  as custodians of their own land and waters 

BHI has always recognized the vital role of local residents in the regions where we operate as essential conservation leaders. Our ongoing collaboration with these communities has empowered their initiatives, resulting in significant positive changes for both society and the environment. This embodies our commitment to a socially inclusive conservation strategy. Together, we seek pragmatic and mutually beneficial solutions that promote the well-being of both people and nature.
