Summary
This project aims to balance conservation of regional biodiversity with the improvement of local livelihoods by addressing the climate change-driven increase in cases of human-wildlife conflict (HWC) in a targeted 4,000 ha area of Armenia's Vayots Dzor region. The proposed intervention framework will showcase cost-effective, nature-based solutions to HWC incidents involving bears, which can be scaled and adopted by other municipalities across the country and abroad, as well as empowering rural communities to work towards poverty reduction.
