Elephant Proof Fencing Project at Moeromaoto Village
Being amidst abundant wildlife might sound like a dream come true for many of us, but for farmers and residents in and around Moreomaoto village, close proximity to wildlife can be fraught with conflict.
The villages nearest Meno a Kwena fall within one of the highest human-wildlife conflict zones of Botswana. In order to help both humans and wildlife, we are working alongside Elephants for Africa to sponsor a series of workshops. The workshops focus on the interpretation of wildlife behaviour as well as looking at viable farming practices such as chilli farming to deter elephants.
The long-term goal is to improve livelihoods of all residents living next to Makgadikgadi National Park and allow the villagers and wildlife to live harmoniously in an area that has experienced a recent surge in migrating and resident wildlife.
