Promoting Human-Elephant Coexistence in the Red Volta Forest Landscape

The Red Volta Forest Reserve in Ghana is home to a corridor used by large numbers of migratory elephants, and at least 60 resident elephants. This population has seen an increase in human-elephant conflict resulting in reprisal killings which threaten the elephant population, food security, and human life. This project is addressing this need with educational outreach workshops and campaigns focusing on elephant behavior, ecological roles, and conflict mitigation strategies. Conflict mitigation measures will be implemented to protect crops while monitoring their effectiveness, coupled with habitat restoration efforts to reduce future conflict instances.
