This project’s aim is to promote sustainable coexistence between wildlife, humans, and livestock and it is our continuous efforts towards reducing human-lion conflicts
These bomas are installed by using strong chain-link and wooden poles. Bomas are also meant to fertilize the soil and maximize crop production for our beneficiaries whose land is least fertile. They depend on livestock manure to maximize crop harvests (food security).
Loudspeaker Early Warning System was established to alert the community about problematic wild animals and provide conservation education.
These stations also broadcast social issues in the village, including meetings.
They are utilized for monitoring wild animals spotted in the vicinity.
Up to April 2024, six HLC loudspeaker Early Warning Systems were installed in villages most vulnerable to Human-wildlife conflicts, losses were reduced, and co-existence improved significantly.The
Village conservation education Outreach is an ongoing activity in our programs, and we have built our strength in this over the years. Our message is in line with the two focal problems addressed under our new strategic plan which are habitat degradation and human-lion conflict.
We aim to foster a culture of coexistence, empower communities to mitigate human-wildlife conflicts peacefully, and promote the conservation of lions and their habitats for the benefit of both people and wildlife
Over 71,185 community members reached via conservation film shows, educational materials, seminars and meetings since 2016 to date.
This is done through the continuation of improving village-level capacity and competence to manage local natural resources within villages and involving the community to take part in natural resources governance.
This involves several phases each phase has different stages
This activity has been implemented in 10 villages thus far, involving a total of 520 village leaders in both regions
2023, we managed to conduct phase one in each village, which involves the preparation of an action plan aimed at guiding the protection of natural resources.
LCAs act as our representatives in our covered villages around protected areas.
Main responsibility involves monitoring the occurrence of animal species in villages using KOBO, a data collection tool installed on smartphones
They collaborate closely with the police, TAWA, and TANAPA in capturing poachers operating within the villages.
More than 105 village Game Scouts have been trained and deployed as Lion Conservation Ambassadors (LCA), with 23 of them working as Lion and HLCs monitors in focal villages.
A mass communication education program has been initiated with the goal of raising awareness about conservation.
Through collaboration with representatives from TAWA, TANAPA, and TFS.
This program also provides education to youth, including anti-poaching campaigns, within the community.
Over the years, it has successfully reached more than 500,000 people
Monitoring and evaluation of human-lion conflicts involve systematic methods to gather data, assess the situation, and measure the effectiveness of interventions
Through our partnership with LL 18 smartphones were provided to facilitate monitoring
Also through Honey Guide collaboration we were able to receive a training on SMART
We have equipped the LCA 18 smartphones already installed with KOBO
Over 50 incidences has already been reported in the KOBO and still going
It involves different groups in the village:
More than 50 park trips have already been conducted with different groups
Over 1,465 locals visited Katavi National Park from 2016 to date.
