The Problem
Global expansion of human activities seems inevitable. It is inevitable that humans will interact with nature and wildlife even in protected areas. History has demonstrated that at the boundaries of national parks, reserves, preserves, and forest, that interaction, well intended, or not, will impact the probabilities of survival of species.
Level Growth and partners create and borrow from successful constructs to set up scenarios where all stake holders "win". Stake holders include threatened and non-threatened species of plant and animal. local families trying to feed their children and provide a future, villages working to preserve ancient culture, businesses trying to make a profit, governments trying to protect their constituents, and NGOs and global agencies with a goal to sustain species for the next generations.
Island of Sulaweisi
Hunderds of miles of untouched coast, thousands of ha of native forest and thousands of species known and unknow living in a habitat that when diminished will eventually disappear, along with the diversity, and knowledge.
Solutions
Level Growth continues to explore options to benefit the indigenous peoples, the natural resources, and diversity in flora and fauna that bring value.
LG and partners consulted with industry for the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Forestry in November 2012 on protection and conservation of MALEO, BABIRUSA, ANOA, SUMATRAN RHINO and ORANGUTAN, which was followed by the signing of agreements with
WAY KAMBAS NATIONAL PARK LAMPUNG,
THE NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION AGENCIES OF LAMPUNG, CENTRAL KALIMANTAN,
THE NATURAL RESOURCE CONSERVATION AGENCIES OF EAST KALIMANTAN and
BOGANI NANI WARTABONE NATIONAL PARK NORTH SULAWESI.
These agreements alone are insufficient to provide success, but act as a framework to collaborate with ALL stakeholders to have a vision and direction to persue.
