Encouraging Sustainable Wildlife Management
Promoting the use of humane, sustainable, and cost-effective techniques among communities near protected areas and wildlife staff to prevent wildlife from encroaching on farmlands and human settlements.
Reducing Human-Wildlife Conflict with Alternative Crops
Encouraging farmers in protected area communities to cultivate crops that are unappealing to elephants as an alternative to those commonly consumed by them, helping to minimize economic losses.
Protecting Livestock from Large Carnivores
Supporting community members and wildlife professionals in implementing humane, effective, and sustainable methods to safeguard livestock from predators such as lions, hyenas, wild dogs, and leopards.
About us
In 2021, we introduced the Tembo Pilipili project in villages around Selous Game Reserve in Liwale district. Selous has high incidence of elephant crop raiding as elephants that take refuge in community forests during the day often invade crop fields at night.
Mission
To provide technical support to communities co-existing with wildlife authorities to sustainably conserve wildlife for the benefit of current and future generation.
Vision
To see wildlife is protected from threats that causes wildlife losses.
Our Model
Our model promotes the use of chili-based methods due to their low cost and the availability of materials locally, making them an effective and sustainable solution.
