Over the past 3 years Wild Impact and &Beyond have been working with the Tsutsubega and Gogomoga settlements to develop a Harmony with Wildlife initiative that will help address their Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC) issues and nurture their support for the conservation of wildlife that is resident in, or transient through, their area.
This process is anchored by the full-time employment of community-based Community and Conservation Rangers (C&C Rangers), who support the community with the reporting of HWC issues and the deployment of camera traps.
By recording each incident, we can provide the community with feedback and share results from our camera trap deployment, indicating when and where HWC is likely to occur and provide mitigation measures.
