Sponsor Community Guardians in Zimbabwe
Organization information
African Lion & Environmental Research Trust
Location: London, United Kingdom
Summary
ALERT plans to train and mobilise Community Guardians in the Matetsi Communal Area, Zimbabwe to protect livestock and crops against wildlife attacks. Livelihoods in this community are heavily dependent on farming and therefore reducing losses is key to human wildlife conflict mitigation. Trained Community Guardians use non-lethal methods such as construction of predator-proof livestock pens, tracking and scaring of predators and crop raiding elephants, early warning and reporting.
