Projects and LHNet

LHNet aims to bring people and institutions together, to cooperate in the field of large herbivore conservation. Much of the work of the Large Herbivore Network has to do with projects in the wider field of large herbivore conservation and restoration, including their ecosystems. The proposed projects have been linked to our species and the countries where they occur. However,  LHNet is not a project organization.

LHNet project approach

The project approach is often the logical vehicle to arrange for cooperation, co-funding and synergy to include all aspects of conservation, while not forgetting the ‘human dimension’. LHNet applies a seed-money strategy, using small monies to facilitate cooperation and the initiation of projects. Once things have been set in motion and a solid base for a successful cooperation for field projects is created, LHNet will facilitate in seeking active support from third parties. This may be co-funding, structural support, etc. from WWF other NGO networks and GOs, international conventions and international bodies such as EU, GEF and UN agencies.
