Stewardship of Natural Resources and Cultural
Heritage
The International Stewardship Program of
QLF Atlantic Center for the
Environment works with
conservation and rural development
practitioners to develop new strategies for
conservation of natural and cultural heritage.
Hundreds of professionals and leaders
from
across the hemisphere
have participated in our fellowships, workshops,
peer exchanges and community problem-solving
exercises, joining a growing cadre of
practitioners concerned with stewardship. As a
US/Canadian organization, QLF Atlantic Center for
the Environment is international by nature. For
25 years our International Program has worked in
partnership with local NGOs in support of
conservation and sustainability. Currently, we
focus particular attention on the Caribbean,
Latin America, and Europe, particularly Central
and Southeastern Europe.
These International
Programs draw on our experience in our own
Atlantic Region (New England and eastern Canada),
our staff’s in-country experience in our target
regions, and a broad, informal network of partner
organizations.
Exchange works both
ways. We believe that by helping others—and
learning how they cope with change, perceive
problems, understand our circumstances, and
operate with limited resources—we learn not only
about them but about ourselves.
