Programs

Three ways we work

Each program answers a different part of the same problem: land under pressure, communities without a buffer, and policy without teeth.

Forest & Land Defense

We track deforestation, illegal logging, and land grabs across mangrove and forest reserves, and turn that documentation into cases regulators and courts can act on.

  • Satellite and ground-based monitoring of high-risk zones
  • Legal support for communities contesting land seizures
  • Public reporting on logging and mining concessions

Community Resilience

We work with coastal and farming communities to prepare for the changes already underway, not just the ones still coming.

  • Early-warning networks for flooding and drought
  • Training in climate-adapted farming and fishing practices
  • Small grants for community-run adaptation projects

Policy & Accountability

We track the environmental commitments West African governments and companies have already made, and campaign publicly when those commitments stall.

  • A public tracker of regional climate and land-use pledges
  • Briefings for journalists and regional lawmakers
  • Coalition campaigns on specific enforcement failures
