With proactive social, economic, and biological analysis, AREAS believes that a balance can be struck so that wild species get the secure core areas and forest corridors they need, while people can pursue agriculture, forestry, and other forms of land-use in a more clearly planned and sustainable manner.
In an ambitious program that brings together cutting edge conservation biology with trade monitoring, socio-economic analysis, and policy advocacy, AREAS promises new hope for dwindling populations of these threatened pachyderms.
Safeguarding pachyderms, their habitat and endangered species that also live thereThe AREAS portfolio provides a cohesive approach to the conservation of the three Asian rhino species and the Asian elephant nested within the WWF network programmes. The conservation of the AREAS priority landscapes will not only safeguard a future for Asia’s wild elephants and rhinos, but also protect many of the most biologically important places in Asia and other countless endangered species, including the tiger, orang-utan, and many other species.
