KRCS Signs Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Born Free Foundation

The Elephant Guardian Programme:

As a direct outcome of this partnership, the Elephant Guardian Programme has been launched. This program is designed to pilot community-based monitoring of elephant movements. It also aims to test participatory mitigation measures to address human-elephant conflicts within communities surrounding the Banyang Mbo wildlife sanctuary.

The partnership and the Elephant Guardian Programme are expected to contribute to:

• Community-Based Monitoring: Implementing systems where local communities actively track and monitor elephant movements.
• Human-Elephant Conflict Mitigation: Testing and evaluating strategies developed with community participation to reduce conflicts between humans and elephants.
• Enhanced conservation efforts for elephants and their habitat.
• Improved community livelihoods through sustainable practices.
• Increased awareness and education about wildlife conservation.
• Reduced human-wildlife conflict, leading to safer communities and healthier elephant populations.
