Conservation through Poverty Alleviation International (CPALI) is a US- based non-profit that works to identify, develop and implement new means of income generation for poor farmers living in areas of high biodiversity or conservation value. CPALI's goal is to build broad-based partnerships among conservation and development organizations, businesses, governments and local communities that work to introduce new ways that rural farmers can profit from sustainable use of natural resources. We are currently working in Madagascar because its unique biological heritage - 90% of its flora and fauna are found nowhere else in the world - is critically endangered by habitat destruction and innovative approaches are needed to stem its loss. CPALI Mission: To contribute to natural resource conservation by developing integrated, small enterprise systems that link the livelihoods of farm families and communities to the maintenance of natural ecosystems. Vision: Effective strategies for managing natural resources integrate the livelihood needs of rural communities in ways that alleviate poverty and contribut e to long-term conservation of natural ecosystems. Objectives: To develop working models for integrated, small scale, enterprise systems that link rural livelihoods to natural resource conservation.
To build long-term partnerships with conservation organizations, local communities, government agencies and the private sector in pursuit of conservation goals.
To design and implement rigorous methods for monitoring and assessing the effectiveness of CPALI's activities to improve human livelihoods and conserve resources.
Develop management guidelines, services and products that are essential for natural resource based, indigenous business systems.
To apply CPALI's integrated business models to a broad range of conservation sites and products.
