Caribbean Natural Resources Institute (CANARI)

CANARI facilitates and promotes participatory approaches to natural resource governance to conserve biodiversity, enhance ecosystem goods and services, and enhance the livelihoods and wellbeing of the poor in the Caribbean.
We place strong emphasis on multidisciplinary research, capacity building, partnerships, communication and advocacy to build awareness and influence policy. We work directly with the full range of stakeholders who have rights to, interests in, or formal or informal responsibilities for natural resources, promoting and facilitating equitable and effective participation by all in decisions about the use and management of these resources. These stakeholders include resource users and others living in rural communities, community-based organisations, non-governmental organisations, media, academic institutions, donors and technical assistance organisations, government and intergovernmental agencies, and the private sector. CANARI’s work brings together individuals across sectors and at the local, national, regional and international level to build relationships and foster collaboration.
CANARI also plays a key role as a regional intermediary, bringing global and regional resources and knowledge to national and local Caribbean organisations.
