activities are organized to have several positive ancillary benefits:
activities through a combination of environmental awareness and the development of their own small-scale income generating sustainable and environmentally friendly businesses.
Farming activities, such as organic mushroom cultivation, improve villagers’ standard of living and consequently reduce poaching and habitat destruction. This, in turn, helps maintain a healthy ecosystem for both people and wildlife.
Freeland's community outreach projects are a model for rural community engagement promoting sustainable alternative livelihoods
and forest stewardship. Freeland is working to expand these pilot projects and facilitate their replication across Southeast and South Asia.

Freeland's wildlife biologists work with local park staff to survey areas, where little is known about wildlife populations. This work helps evaluate the effectiveness of patrols and identify where park protection efforts should focus.
The Surviving Together program also incorporates youth education. Freeland's Mobile Education Unit visits thousands of rural school children every year to emphasize the importance of wildlife and habitat conservation
through fun, hands-on activities, songs and games. These efforts are encouraging rural families to live more harmoniously with nature and nurture the next generation of wildlife conservationists.
