Livelihoods and Landscapes
Livelihoods and Landscapes (LLS) is a global leverage programme that aims to catalyse the sustainable use and conservation of forest biodiversity and ecosystem services for the benefit of the rural poor. LLS is defined by four key thematic components that in turn determine its areas of intervention: poverty reduction, governance, transforming landscapes, and markets and incentives. Under the governance component LLS is seeking to promote effective governance structures and processes that take into account the needs of the rural poor. It is building on IUCN's extensive work on forest governance and combating illegal logging, particularly its work with civil societies to strengthen their capacity to engage in Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade (FLEGT) processes.
