The best conservation science is built on local knowledge.

We bring the science, the capital, and the institutional support. Communities bring everything else.

Across East Africa, Archipelagus works with communities and partners to conserve some of the world's most biodiverse landscapes while strengthening the livelihoods that depend on them. We embed rigorous science and evidence collection into everything we do — not as a reporting obligation, but as a practical tool that informs and amplifies local decision-making. We build approaches that take root, replicate, and endure.
