One of the benefits of working for a large organization such as WWF is that you receive briefs which enable you to produce images that are effective on a local level whilst also holding value further up the chain as part of regional and global conservation strategies.
This body of work is for a small organization jointly run by WWF, CI and TNC called the Coral Triangle Support Partnership (CTSP) this organization is set up primarily to ensure effective cooperation between NGOs, government and the private sector to further a set of agreed upon conservation goals in The Coral Triangle bioregion. As such, much of the CTSP work goes on at policy level and those funding it rarely get a chance to see the effect their input is having at a grassroots level. This project excited me as it was a chance for both funders and individuals working inside the CTSP to take a step back from their work and get a tangible sense of how much they've achieved.
This essay focuses on two conservation projects. One project is a partnership between WWF and the descendants of what is now the largest uninhabited island in the south pacific. The second is a collaboration between Conservation International and the residents of Nuakata Island in Papua New Guinea. Both projects are an example of how the CTSP has enabled a conservation organization to pass on its knowledge to local communities so that they can take the lead on the preservation of their ancestral lands and oceans. « less
