About Rare:
Rare is a fast-growing, international conservation organization. We believe conservation comes down to people—their behaviors toward nature, their beliefs about its value, and their ability to protect it without sacrificing basic life needs. Rare’s culture is results-oriented and entrepreneurial.
We are working toward ambitious goals and creating measurable social change. With initiatives such as Fish Forever, Watersheds Protection, Sustainable Agriculture, Innovative Finance, the Meloy Fund, and the Center for Behavior & the Environment, Rare is on a mission to “inspire change so people and nature thrive”.
Our Mozambique team is pursuing the ambitious Fish Forever program which seeks to prove and then promulgate the combination of community-led fisheries management and networks of marine reserves. This program uses behavior-centered design and social marketing to reach coastal communities and shift Mozambique’s nearshore fisheries toward sustainability while preserving the country’s extraordinary marine biodiversity. The Fish Forever program builds on Rare’s significant experience and success in helping communities achieve effective No Take Zone compliance in marine protected areas, seeking to achieve greater community benefits from their investments in fishery and marine biodiversity management by combining this with clear fishing rights. Fish Forever implementation in Mozambique is part of Rare’s global Fish Forever initiative which includes operation of this program in ten countries around the globe.
