BCP’s mission is to make conservation of wildlife habitat valuable to people.

BCP is a social enterprise working with communities and international partners to implement forest conservation and carbon emission reduction projects on a large scale. The communities who are the traditional forest owners and users are at the center of our work.

  4. Develop other required management plans, procedures, and protocols, working with the field implementation team to identify capacity development needs, to provide required training.
  5. Supervise the implementation of the BCP ESMS, including monitoring and evaluation, reporting, internal audits, responding to grievances and project specific environmental and social issues.
