Wildlife Management
Anti-poaching and biodiversity monitoring
18 community Natural Resource Monitors conduct patrols, remove snares, collect biodiversity data, support community awareness and track wildlife using GPS units.
Practical programmes for coexistence and conservation.
MCC programmes combine wildlife management, human-wildlife conflict mitigation, livelihoods, governance and infrastructure support.
HWC Mitigation
Reducing conflict and protecting livelihoods
Strategies include lion collaring collaboration, community radios and vuvuzelas, predator-proof bomas, wildlife water provisioning and Farmer Field Schools.
Alternative Livelihoods
Goats, beekeeping and tourism potential
Improved goat breeding, apiculture and future eco-lodge/community tourism opportunities help reduce pressure on vulnerable natural resources.
Governance
Community capacity and leadership
Board elections, financial literacy training, strategic planning, ward meetings and integration with formal government structures support sustainability.
Infrastructure
Community welfare and operational bases
Boreholes, social centres, cattle races, dip tanks and NRM campsites strengthen both community resilience and conservation operations.
