Forests and Livelihood Organization (FLO)

Building resourceful communities through natural resource conservation and alternative livelihood development

At FLO, we believe that empowering local communities and supporting them in obtaining legal tenure over their land, while ensuring sustainable livelihood and reliable income is the best way to protect local forests.

We create partnerships with indigenous and local communities, offering technical support while respecting and embracing their ancestral knowledge and land stewardship.

We support communities in the land titling process, provide capacity building, and training about sustainable forest management, and support sustainable livelihoods, making land titling effective for forest conservation.
