The conservation of wildlife especially in Africa is depended on the co-existence between humans and wildlife. The increase in demand for land has brought humans in close proximity to wildlife more than ever before and this is resulting in increased conflicts between humans and wildlife. Our human-wildlife co-existence projects are focused on reducing costs and increasing benefits. Our team of Community Guardians "Batabilili" (which means Protectors in Tonga) are working with the local communities in reducing and preventing incidence of conflict and increasing the benefits communities get from living alongside wildlife. Within our human-wildlife coexistence programs we are focused on the following:

​

• Community Guardians

• Mobile Bomas

• Chilli Fences

 

More so, communities living alongside wildlife are among the poorest in society and they also have to bear the costs of living with wildlife with little to no benefit. Our community development programs are focused on improving the livelihoods of these communities whose role in conservation is critical. We are currently focused on these projects:​

• Food Security

• Alternative Sources of Income

• Wildlife Credits
