The work of Namati’s Liberian partner, the Sustainable Development Institute, has been captured on film by the climate change campaign organisation If Not Us Then Who. Made by Handcrafted Films for their Inspirational People strand, the short film shows the community mapping that rural people use to begin the process of protecting their lands.

In a country where over half of the land has been promised to or contracted to investors, leaving many rural Liberians landless and livelihood insecure, Namati and SDI are currently working with 65 communities to realize their rights and protect their customary land and natural resources.
