about 17% of the country designated as wildlife management areas. Communities living in these areas are often poorly informed about conservation and experience wildlife as a threat to their livestock or farm. Most communities do not see wildlife as a direct benefit and do not know how to coexist peacefully.\n\nThis ignorance and attitude towards nature threatens the ecosystem and leads to human-wildlife conflict, especially in communities in Wildlife Contact Areas. Farmers are affected by predators such as lions and other wildlife such as elephants, buffaloes and hippos and kill them to protect their livestock, out of ignorance\u00a0<span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary );\">and some people even poach for bushmeat<\/span><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text ); background-color: var( --e-global-color-secondary );\">. But these countermeasures only exacerbate the conflict and the entire ecosystem is thrown into disarray.<\/span>\n\nIn order to successfully implement species protection, in addition to awareness work and education, livelihood-securing measures are required that simultaneously protect nature. Successful coexistence with wildlife is only possible if people have enough to eat and feel safe. There is often a lack of knowledge, but also a lack of awareness of one&#8217;s own potential and the opportunities to use it.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-30d51c3\" data-id=\"30d51c3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8dc9139 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"8dc9139\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tirelo-1-1-uai-768x768-1-150x150.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-2178\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tirelo-1-1-uai-768x768-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tirelo-1-1-uai-768x768-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tirelo-1-1-uai-768x768-1-580x580.jpeg 580w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tirelo-1-1-uai-768x768-1-200x200.jpeg 200w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Tirelo-1-1-uai-768x768-1.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd81c00 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fd81c00\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p style=\"text-align: center;\">,,The CSA program aims to curb traditional poaching by providing communities with a variety of vegetables to supplement their diets and use modern farming methods to improve their livelihoods and promote sustainable agriculture.\u201c<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8211;

To build new capacities that enable people to take action themselves, we developed the Community Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) program, which has now been running in Botswana for almost a decade. Training workshops develop new skills for community-based organizing, as well as financial and project management, such as running your own ecotourism businesses or establishing sustainable organic agriculture. This will create many jobs that incorporate the idea of species conservation from the beginning. Capacity building and the joint development and implementation of activities ensure that the village communities develop their own interest in success, feel responsible and become self-sufficient in the long term.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cc2bb9 elementor-align-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"5cc2bb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-button-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-lg\" href=\"https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/en\/our-approach-e4c\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Learn more<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-0c34e16\" data-id=\"0c34e16\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b388942 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"b388942\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/logo-CBNRM-weiss-768x480.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large wp-image-2565\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/logo-CBNRM-weiss-768x480.png 768w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/logo-CBNRM-weiss-300x188.png 300w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/logo-CBNRM-weiss-1024x640.png 1024w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/logo-CBNRM-weiss-928x580.png 928w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/logo-CBNRM-weiss-200x125.png 200w, https:\/\/save-wildlife.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/logo-CBNRM-weiss.png 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3097972 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-content-middle elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3097972\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2398ead\" data-id=\"2398ead\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5eaf1a9 dk-headline-map-left elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"5eaf1a9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Here we strengthen the communities<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fcd1590 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fcd1590\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">We support development around wildlife areas.
