Part-time Project Officer - Conservation and Human Rights

Environmental Governance Programme


Do you want to join a multi-disciplinary team working to highlight the issues being faced by indigenous and forest peoples across the world? Forest Peoples Programme is a human rights organisation that stands in solidarity with indigenous and forest peoples.

Our work is built on long-term relationships with local communities and we create political space for forest peoples to secure their rights, control their lands and decide their own futures.


The role


We are looking for a motivated and collaborative new member of our conservation and human rights team to assist and support our work on supporting indigenous peoples and local communities in their self-determined conservation efforts, and to address human rights violations linked to conservation actions.


Across FPP, at the grassroots we are supporting indigenous and local communities to protect their lands and resources so that they are free to govern, sustainably use and manage them using their own practices and traditional knowledge. This includes empowerment around community-based monitoring and information systems for their territories; support for local practices on sustainable use and conservation of natural resources and adaptation to climate change impacts; and for initiatives to strengthen traditional knowledge, governance, indigenous languages and sustainable livelihoods. This role sits within a team initiating a new Project supporting the development of guidance and training materials for indigenous peoples and local communities in assessing and selecting conservation policy pathways that can support local self-determination.


Within this Project and beyond, we provide accompaniment, training, and support to partners and a wider indigenous network of organisations involved in conservation policy arenas, to raise awareness among policy-makers and the general public, and influence setting and implementation of relevant policies, laws, and programmes.

We co-organise events and support production of knowledge products and materials, for instance to highlight the important contributions of indigenous peoples and local communities to global conservation and sustainability goals, and the value of indigenous knowledge.

We are looking for someone who has research and work interests in indigenous-led and community-led conservation initiatives and actions.

The role works in close coordination with the wider Environmental Governance Programme and under the management of a Senior Policy Advisor within that programme.

This post is guided by FPP's core principle of peoples' right to self-determination.
