This guidance is intended as a resource for conservation professionals who are interested to learn more about the relationship between conservation and human rights, especially the rights of Indigenous peoples and local communities. A huge amount has been written on this topic over the past 50 years or so, but much of it is at the level of broad principles rather than their application in practice, and it is mostly targeted at large conservation organisations rather than at individual conservationists. Training opportunities on this topic are also limited, and awareness of human rights issues is currently very variable amongst conservationists. This document aims to help address this gap.
