In an era where environmental challenges intersect with development needs, Danle Centre for Natural Resources stands as a beacon of hope for sustainable solutions. Our vision extends beyond traditional approaches to natural resource management—we see a future where communities thrive through evidence-based practices that honor both ecological integrity and human prosperity. Founded on the principles…
Nature’s challenges require nature-inspired solutions. At Danle Centre, we’re pioneering innovative approaches that work with natural systems rather than against them, creating sustainable pathways to address some of the most pressing environmental issues of our time. One groundbreaking approach we’re advancing is integrated landscape management, where we treat entire ecosystems as interconnected systems. Instead of…
Sustainability isn’t just about environmental protection—it’s a powerful engine for economic growth and community resilience. Across the Horn of Africa, Danle Centre is documenting and promoting sustainable practices that are transforming local economies while building long-term resilience against environmental and economic shocks. Climate-smart agriculture stands at the forefront of this transformation. Farmers adopting drought-resistant crop…
The Horn of Africa faces some of the world’s most severe climate challenges, from prolonged droughts to unpredictable rainfall patterns that threaten millions of livelihoods. At Danle Centre, we’re developing comprehensive strategies that help communities not just survive these challenges, but adapt and thrive despite them. Understanding local climate patterns is crucial to our approach.…
Dryland ecosystems cover over 40% of the Earth’s surface and support more than 2 billion people, yet they remain among the least understood and most threatened environments on our planet. Danle Centre’s cutting-edge research is filling critical knowledge gaps while developing practical solutions for dryland management and restoration. Our interdisciplinary research approach combines remote sensing…
Sustainable natural resource management isn’t just about having the right technologies or policies—it’s fundamentally about having people with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to implement effective practices. Capacity building sits at the heart of everything we do at Danle Centre, recognizing that lasting change happens when communities become the drivers of their own development. Our…
Building climate resilience in challenging environments requires a comprehensive approach that addresses immediate vulnerabilities while building long-term adaptive capacity. Through our work across diverse challenging areas, Danle Centre has developed proven strategies that communities can implement to become more resilient to climate variability and change. Risk assessment forms the foundation of resilience building. Communities need…
Sustainable development in dryland regions requires specialized approaches that work with the unique characteristics of these environments rather than against them. Based on extensive research and field experience, Danle Centre has identified key strategies that consistently deliver positive outcomes for both communities and ecosystems. Water-centric planning recognizes that water is the limiting factor in most…
