The specific conservation aims on CCC forest projects depend on a number of factors, including project partners and location. But CCC effectively works to provide biodiversity information and local environmental capacity such that decision support tools (e.g. habitat maps) can be developed to aid local environmental management strategies, e.g. community-based reserve designation and management.

CCC works across a range of spatial scales to achieve conservation objectives. Our forest conservation projects work at a local level, often with local communities, and engaging other local stakeholders through alternative livelihood provision and capacity building e.g. skills training, environmental awareness schemes. At a national level, we collaborate with NGOs and Government departments to ensure more effective adoption of conservation outputs. Finally at an international level, through our volunteer programme, and also promoting project work and outputs at internationals forums and relevant media to encourage greater support for work 'on the ground'.
