When breeders have to deal with depredation of Jaguar or Puma upon their livestock, they have the opportunity to become a "pilot farm" and thus freely set up a non-lethal measure. Both the project leader and the breeder choose together which measure seem to be relevant and adapted to the farm. A technical sheet is given to the breeder to tell him/her all the information to effectively set up and maintain the measure.
For now, 5 deterrent measures are available: sound deterrent system, light deterrent system (Foxlight), electric fence "anti-felid", donkey, livestock guarding dog "Kangal".
It offers a free alternative for breeders who were until today, for many of them often using retaliatory killing although it was not effective to reduce predation in the long-term. Workshops are organized to introduce these measures and share the experiences among the local stakeholders involved in this issue.
