We believe that, there is a great interrelationship
between environmental conservation and poverty.
Reducing poverty and fostering human development are fundamental
prerequisites for achieving sustainable development.
Growing inequity within and across countries is a
troubling trend which, if not addressed soon, will lead to greater social
conflict and an increasing rate of ecosystem deterioration. There is a need to
address these issues in a novel way. We need to move away from conventional
responses relying on the fruits of economic growth trickling down to the
impoverished, to policy responses that embrace broader participation, greater
opportunities and more empowerment of the poor in their own development
process.
Since 2013, TUVUTANE has sought to provide these
responses through policy analysis; intelligence gathering; impacts assessment
and modelling; and public engagement and outreach. Our approach recognizes the
need for constructive global engagement at the international level combined
with strong national policies and action by individuals.
TUVUTANE believes that the most effective actions
for reducing poverty and fostering human development are those that integrate
the sustainable management of ecosystem services, the promotion of economic
development and ensuring social equity within a single comprehensive framework.
Implementing these actions requires the use of a wide range of tools—from
public participation techniques to integrated assessment tools to understand
the complex nexus among constituents of well-being, ecosystem services and
institutions.
Our
environmental team possesses considerable number of experts with huge
experience and skills in a variety of areas which has made TUVUTANE a national
leader on understanding the links between human development and ecosystem
services. To maintain continuity in our work on poverty and environment, TUVUTANE
has established training programs that helps societies to conserve environment
for future generation and their well being
We are here
to ensure that ‘our planet is the best place to live’
