PiN assessments help project managers understand the ways biodiversity is used at a site and how it contributes to the livelihoods and well-being of individuals, households and communities. Assessments look at current species use, historical uses, and uses within similar environments and/or among similar groups. This helps to meet IUCN’s commitment to rights-based approaches and meets free, prior and informed consent obligations. PiN assessment has the potential to inform or support: PiN workflow and framework. It helps guide communities and supporting organisations to better respond to changes by identifying opportunities to improve livelihoods.
