community-conservation
Community conservation is an approach that engages local communities as active stewards in the protection and sustainable management of plant biodiversity within their landscapes. This model recognizes that indigenous and local knowledge systems are often deeply intertwined with plant diversity hotspots, making community involvement essential for effective in-situ conservation. By integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern plant science, community conservation helps preserve rare and culturally significant plant species while supporting ecosystem resilience.
