People Resources and Conservation Foundation PRCF

People Resources and Conservation Foundation (PRCF) is a non-profit, non-membership organization based in Los Angeles, California. With a team of 13 employees, PRCF focuses on promoting the protection of natural resources and sustainable development for ethnic rural communities, particularly in the context of climate change. The organization works with communities in developing countries like Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Vietnam, and Thailand, concentrating on areas near protected areas, forests, and degraded lands. PRCF's mission is to empower local people to participate in natural resource management and address biodiversity conservation needs, including climate change adaptation. Their programs encompass species and habitat conservation, community-driven conservation management, and cultural revitalization through traditional weaving arts. PRCF's recent emphasis lies in finding localized solutions to combat the growing issue of plastic waste. Their website, prcfoundation.org, serves as a platform for further information about their initiatives and work.
