Bolder Conservation for a New Era
Power built
from the ground up.
Starting with the
frontline.
The Access Granted Group unifies the conservation movement around a community-led agenda—rooted in frontline and Indigenous leadership, engaged before political transitions, and designed to reach the communities mainstream conservation has left behind.
Our Approach
About
A movement only as
strong as its roots.
The Access Granted Group is a time-bound think tank conducting movement research and analysis to build durable infrastructure—so conservation meets new political moments with community-led force, not organizational inertia.
We target movement stamina over organizational urgency. That means escaping cycles of missed opportunities, disengaged communities, and lost power—and building toward something that holds after any single election or administration.
"Policy without people is little more than a piece of paper."
What We're Building Toward
A conservation movement that
grows
power by starting where it counts.
Frontline & Indigenous Leaders Set the Agenda
The movement's agenda begins with the people most impacted by nature-loss—frontline communities and Indigenous leaders—and brings mainstream conservation in second. Not the reverse. This reordering builds trust, durability, and legitimacy that top-down strategies cannot manufacture.
Early & Deliberate Engagement in Political Transitions
A conservation movement that waits for policy windows to open has already lost time. We equip leaders to engage political transitions early—so when administrations shift, there is a ready agenda, ready relationships, and readiness to move on Day 1.
Reaching Disengaged Communities Through Culturally Aware Outreach
Mainstream conservation communications have consistently failed to reach the communities with the most at stake. We develop messaging and outreach rooted in cultural awareness and authentic representation—turning disengagement into durable participation.
Our Work
Three streams of work.
One unified direction.
