This grouped project in the Kunene Highlands Elephant Landscape in Namibia aims to work in partnership with 12 Community Conservancies to expand regeneration and conservation efforts, promoting sustainable land management practices and livelihoods. The landscape, representing almost 1 million hectares, is an area of considerable ecological importance, providing biodiversity connectivity between adjacent national parks.
It also holds a significant elephant population, and overlaps with ranges of at least 3 species listed as critically endangered, 10 listed as endangered, 12 listed as vulnerable, and 10 listed as near threatened by the IUCN, including large megafauna and birds that are at high risk of habitat loss, poaching and climate change threats.

Through regenerative rangeland management, the project will support grassland restoration, carbon sequestration, soil moisture retention and climate resilience.
At present, the conservancies generate little or no revenue from nature-based enterprises for the benefit of their communities. The development of a natural capital project with the potential to monetise credits for ecosystem services – underpinned by a financially sustainable model – is the key source of revenue to better manage these areas and support community livelihood improvements.
A key objective of our efforts in this expanded landscape is to unlock carbon and other natural asset potential as a source of revenue to better manage these areas and support community livelihood improvements. For this reason, Conserve has partnered with Cultivo, a Public Benefit Corporation, headquartered in California, USA with operations in the UK, Spain and Mexico. Cultivo uniquely blends technology, investment, environmental science and commercial capabilities together under one roof to originate high quality projects that regenerate nature. Cultivo’s vision is to regenerate 1% of the world’s land into healthy ecosystems and has a mission to accelerate investment into nature at scale. Cultivo was announced as a winner of the Word Economic Forum US Trillion Trees Challenge in January 2023, has received a Henry Arnhold Fellowship from the Mulago Foundation in 2021, and was part of the Unreasonable Impact Americas cohort in 2021. In addition, Cultivo was the recipient of a grant from The Mulago Foundation in June 2023 to support community-led conservation organisations.
