It provides a new avenue for global stakeholders of wildlife conservation, to share the costs of protecting and living alongside wildlife with the communities at the forefront of conservation. A locally suitable model will be co-designed with communities and stakeholders, with an AI Dashboard to measure key performance indicators.
