The PCLG Directory of Poverty and Conservation Organisations and Initiatives 2008' (http://povertyandconservation.info/docs/20081117- PCLG_Directory_2008_17-11-2008.pdf). The directory provides details of organisations and initiatives that have been identified through the work of the PCLG as working on poverty-conservation issues. Many of the organisations have provided us with recent updates of their work and other entries have been created based on information available on organisations' websites.

The Directory is only as useful as the information supplied so please do keep us updated with he work of your organisation to minimise our presentation of out of date or inaccurate material. The information presented in this report is also available in two databases on the PCLG website - www.povertyand conservation.info – which, together with a database of publications, constitute the core of the PCLG website. We strive to continually expand and update the information available on the website and welcome any contributions.
