Defenders of Nature and Sustainable Development (DONASUD) is a none-profit organization registered under the Incorporated Trustees of the Companies and Allied Matters Part C Deree No 1 of Federal Republic of Nigeria with charity number 15051.

DDEFENDERS OF NATURE AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (DONASUD) was first conceived by Lawrence Oseyamhen on seeing the gross abuse of nature, the spate of unsustainable practices and which to say the least will lead to jeopardy except concrete step are taken to change the trend.

Our results point towards a prevalent global land scarcity that results in industries targeting the last remaining strongholds for biodiversity and the environmental defenders.

Secure Enverionment

For millennia, Indigenous peoples have both shaped and been shaped by the landscapes in which they’ve lived—protecting and conserving natural resources for future generations, while also managing them for their needs in the present. However, over the last couple centuries, these lands and their peoples have been facing never-before-seen threats from human development.

This is a really big deal, Conservation for The Nature Conservancy’s Canadian affiliate Nature United. “It lights the path for fulfilling a commitment to a future with some logging, sustainability of old growth forests, and a vital and robust Indigenous voice in this region.”

The story is one that The Nature Conservancy believes has implications for many landscapes and peoples around the world. Over the last decade, the Conservancy’s partnerships with Indigenous peoples and local communities have spanned 27 countries and led to the improved management or conservation of more than 235 million acres of land.
