Conserving the Peace: Analyzing the links between conservation and conflict in the Albertine Rift

This strategy report, prepared following a February 2006 meeting in Nairobi, examines the intersection of biodiversity conservation and social-political conflict within the Albertine Rift. It advocates for adaptive conservation interventions to minimize risks and address root causes of threats, while analyzing seven conflict assessment tools to help practitioners avoid or mitigate conflict in project areas.

• Conservationists in the Albertine Rift operate in an environment where rich biodiversity coexists with intense social and political upheavals, creating socio-economic pressures that threaten biodiversity and increase the danger and difficulty of conservation work.
• The report provides an analysis of seven conflict assessment tools designed to help conservationists systematically understand conflict in project areas, evaluate how interventions impact conflict dynamics, and design activities to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.
