Camera payment

Great idea but as usual the long term sustainability of the project is most of the time the problem. But he may have an impact on farmers' perception toward the jaguar and increased tolerance, improving cohabitation even without rewards. Farmers could also start to be proud of the jaguar present in their lands, maybe!

Alternative crops for mitigating elephant crop raiding

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm also interested in the questions above. In my opinion, the main difficulty about this solution is to switch livelihood fields to commercial crops and this implicates access to a market and knowledge of financial management. Have you been concerned by this problem? Or the crops selected where mostly consume and sell at direct proximity of the park? In Congo, the fields serve as a food reserve, indeed cassava is largely planted and communities are consuming it all over the year, taking what they need for their meal of the week. Removing this food storage would also create a food availability problem, did you face this type of issue? Thank you.
