Many wildlife conservationists recognize the need to work with local communities to develop solutions that benefit both people and wildlife. Local communities often depend on natural resources for their livelihoods, so conservationists strive to create programs that promote sustainable practices, such as ecotourism, sustainable agriculture, and wildlife-friendly infrastructure. By helping people see the benefits of preserving nature—for example, through the creation of jobs in conservation or eco-tourism—conservationists can create win-win scenarios that protect both wildlife and human well-being.
