The Darwin Initiative is a UK government grants scheme that helps to protect biodiversity and the natural environment through locally based projects worldwide.
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) – including conflict between people over wildlife – is drastically and increasingly worsening poverty and vulnerability for communities in the biodiversity-rich Tsavo landscape. This project will build the capacity and capability of all stakeholders in the landscape to tackle HWC collectively. It will strengthen protected area management’s ability to engage communities, especially women and marginalised groups, in participatory, equitable ways, and will facilitate the co-development of solutions to HWC, helping deliver Kenya Wildlife Service’s Strategic Plan 2019-2024.
