INTEGRATING CONSERVATION INTO OUR CORE SERVICES
IBC has championed the importance of data in driving effective conservation since our inception. However, as responsibilities of businesses evolve to play a more active role in the biodiversity conservation space, we believe true impact would emerge from interpreting and applying the data that IBC is experienced in collecting. By broadening our expertise to include the analysis of how data informs conservation strategies, we aim to support policymakers, organizations, and communities in making well-informed decisions. Our commitment ensures that conservation practices are grounded in scientific evidence and aligned with international standards and best practices, leading to more impactful and sustainable outcomes.
CORE AREAS OF OUR CONSERVATION POLICY AND GOVERNANCE PILLAR
Our new conservation service has many overlaps with our three core services - Biodiversity, People & Society, and Business Processes, and is designed to tackle the complex challenges of biodiversity conservation:
Policy Analysis and Development
IBC offer in-depth analysis of current conservation policies, create tailored legal frameworks, and conduct key informant interviews to develop recommendations aligned with international standards. Our focus is on crafting policies that are robust, effective, and forward-looking.
Education and Capacity Development
We create educational materials and programmes to raise awareness about conservation issues and build the capacity of diverse stakeholders. Our educational initiatives aim to drive meaningful change and enhance the impact of conservation efforts.
Partnership Development
We cultivate partnerships between governmental agencies, NGOs, local communities, and other stakeholders to strengthen collaboration and amplify conservation impact. By working together, we achieve greater success in preserving biodiversity.
Science Policy Analysis
By evaluating scientific research pertinent to policy development, IBC assist policymakers in understanding the implications of scientific findings and incorporating them into decision-making processes. This ensures that policies are both evidence-based and actionable.
Community Engagement and Outreach
We design and execute strategies to actively involve local communities in conservation initiatives and support sustainable livelihoods. By fostering a sense of ownership, we empower communities to contribute meaningfully to conservation efforts.
Community-based Conservation
Our experts assist in creating conservation initiatives that engage local stakeholders and deliver economic benefits to communities. This ensures that our conservation efforts are both effective and equitable.
Stakeholder Engagement and Consensus Building
Our team facilitates multi-stakeholder dialogues and consensus-building processes to address complex conservation challenges. By merging scientific knowledge with diverse perspectives, we develop holistic and sustainable solutions.
Policy Brief Development
IBC produce clear and concise policy briefs that distill scientific evidence, key findings, and actionable recommendations for decision-makers. These briefs ensure that critical information is communicated effectively and efficiently.
Strategic Planning
IBC support organizations in developing comprehensive conservation strategies, including goal setting, stakeholder engagement, and action planning. Our strategic planning services are designed to ensure that conservation efforts are well-coordinated and sustainable.
Capacity Building
Through targeted training programmes and workshops, IBC enhance the capabilities of private sector players and encourage their active participation in conservation. Our approach focuses on breaking down barriers and promoting widespread involvement in biodiversity preservation.
Science-Policy Interface Workshops and Conference
IBC organise workshops, conferences, and other events that bring together scientists, policymakers, practitioners, and stakeholders to discuss pressing conservation issues and solutions. These events are vital for fostering understanding and collaboration.
