Community outreach

Through a series of workshops, we highlight our activities and the issues facing wildlife in Ethiopia to a range of audiences, including local police, defence force graduates, teachers, members of local government and community leaders.
In addition, since 2022 we have been working with the local community to identify overlapping issues that affect both people and wildlife. Through a survey conducted with 200 members of the local community we identified a number of initial areas of focus:
- Veterinary outreach
- Proper waste management
- Human-wildlife conflict awareness and reduction.
Over the coming years we will focus our efforts on these three areas, along with existing tree planting initiatives, building strong relationships and partnerships for the benefit of the local wildlife.
