Why This Portal
A need to create an open source platform which would serve as a repository of knowledge/data covering the multidimensional nature of Community Conserved Areas to enhance the understanding of the role they play in conservation. This knowledge/data is created by, for and with the people from communities across South Asia who are conserving their territories.
