Bio-diversity

The aim of the project is to come up with data and information through a participatory process that can be used to address/mitigate human-carnivore conflict, and hence enhance conservation of large carnivore and improve communal livelihoods through reduced human-carnivore conflict.This project by the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) intends to look at problem analysis of human-carnivore conflict in the Chobe Enclave communal area of Botswana. The project will come up with a new approach to addressing human-carnivore conflict; a participatory problem analysis and an all stakeholder mitigation strategy. The proposed project will focus on all large mammalian large carnivore species inclusive of larger than black backed jackal by body size, this being lion, leopard, spotted hyaena and wild dog. The project will be on a multidisciplinary approach; community liaison, telemetry, ecology, socioeconomic analysis.
