Specialist Practitioners Focused 100% on Sustainable Livelihoods in Conservation Areas
Access dedicated expertise without the time and cost of finding and training full-time project staff.
We live and breathe conservation enterprises.
For NGOs and development agencies delivering projects alongside protected areas and cultural heritage sites, Ethical Republic is a new kind of agency that helps you deliver sustainable, inclusive livelihoods for Indigenous people and local communities.
Strengthen and accelerate delivery in the field.
Many community-based conservation projects have trouble getting traction with sustainable livelihoods. After all, conservation staff are not necessarily experts in economic development.
With the project already in implementation and time ticking away, you’re anxious to get going and start demonstrating progress.
We can help, no matter what stage of planning or implementation you’re up to.
Take the guess work out of planning.
Our proven methodology turns a vague objective for ‘improving income opportunities for local communities’ into a structured program of work ready for immediate delivery.
While our standard methodology provides the framework, we work with you to customise it to suit the local context. No need to reinvent the wheel and no need to spend months on developing something bespoke.
Through care and attention to detail, we are resolute at achieving impact - for conservation and communities.
Relax knowing you have a way forward.
Things you can stop worrying about: feeling anxious about whether or not you can attract and on-board qualified staff in time; concern at not knowing whether your planned approach will be effective; and feeling uneasy about whether your existing staff have enough bandwidth to do it all on their own.
Instead, have confidence in knowing exactly how your project will deliver outcomes for sustainable livelihoods. Spend more time where it counts - building relationships with partners, keeping donors up to speed and managing your team.
You don’t lose any control and it won’t cost as much as you think.
We work with you to design, deliver and evaluate field-based activities for sustainable livelihoods. We’re part of your team, it’s just that we’re more cost effective to engage and more self-sufficient than staff tend to be. You don’t have to go through an expensive recruitment process and you won’t have to spend time every week giving us feedback on our performance.
We advise, deliver, coach and recommend - plus, we happily take plain-speaking direction on board so we can get straight back to the job at hand!

“Our point of difference is that we use creative ways of unlocking value for communities so that livelihoods, markets and protected areas can co-exist. That’s all we do. So we do it really well.”
