WWF is working directly with humanitarian organizations to advise them on better practices for rebuilding communities impacted by disaster. The goal of our Humanitarian Partnerships Program is to ensure that recovery and reconstruction efforts include environmentally sustainable considerations. To reduce risk and vulnerability and achieve long-lasting results for affected communities, the recovery and reconstruction process must be comprehensive and include a 'design through implementation' approach to ensure restoration of livelihoods, protection of natural resources, and strengthening of communities against future disasters.
