Community Coexistence

Community Coexistence (COEX) is a community-based initiative that organically evolved from Wild Entrust, a globally recognized conservation research, education and development organization active in Botswana since 1990. COEX aims to promote landscape connectivity, ecosystem health, and economic development by empowering communities to manage and sustainably benefit from their natural resources. Each COEX “Village Development Program” (for example, HABU) addresses two fundamental goals: poverty eradication and biodiversity conservation.
