Over the past decade, conservation and faith organisations have made high-level institutional pledges to work jointly on conservation efforts. Some of these pledges are now finding their way to concrete action, often through smaller, community-based conservation interventions.
The USAID white paper 2010 titled ''[http://www.arcworld.org/downloads/Practice_to_Policy_to_Practice.pdf From Practice to Policy to Practice: Connecting Faith and Conservation in Africa''], explores some of the current practices of connecting faith and conservation. It provides information on some of the faiths groups doing conservation work, and presents several case studies on faith-based conservation, in an effort to discuss and learn how to best partner with faith communities on biodiversity in sub-Saharan Africa.
In addition, the UNICEF paper ‘Partnering with Religious Communities for Children’ in 2011, intends to strengthen those partnerships and make them more effective to improve children’s lives. It recognizes the huge importance of identifying common ground, open dialogue and developing partnerships with religious communities especially when addressing attitudes and practices associated with religious beliefs.
