Featured Peacebuilding Group: Center for Conservation Peacebuilding

This week’s Featured Peacebuilding Group is the DC based Center for Conservation Peacebuilding. Around the world, social conflicts related to conservation issues are serious obstacles to both wildlife conservation efforts and local communities’ way of life. To address such conflicts, the Center for Conservation Peacebuilding (CPeace) pioneered the application of conservation conflict transformation (CCT) theory, skills, processes, and strategies. People who implement and engage in CCT practices report improved relationships, increased effectiveness, more creative and mutually-supported decisions, positive social change, and increased efficiency and durability of solutions.

The Washington Post Magazine featured the group’s work on 12/5/18.
