WATCH TOWERS FOR ELEPHANTS



For the Chebera Chuchura National Park, one of the most unique wildlife and biodiversity well conservated and vulnerable ecosystem remaining in Africa, we want to join forces with the Ethiopian Wildlife Conservation Authority (EWCA), and help the approximate 500 individual’s elephant population in the park. To save elephant lives and reduce animal human conflict it is urgent to build elephant watch towers so when an elephant herd approaches villages and their crops, they can be safely chased away.

Unfortunately, and due to armored human conflicts, the use of drones to chase them away is not a reliable option and the towers have been successfully proven to help. To keep this unique ecosystem healthy, elephants are crucial players as many other species and the environmental services they give to human health.

 

The African elephant is an endangered specie. They are dying not only to supply the Asian ivory market but also being killed because they compete with cattle for food.

 

Dr. Yamaguchi works in situ, and togehther with our Allies of BeWild Aid they rescue endangered species and release them back where they belong.

 

Plains zebra Equus quagga populations are fastly decreasing due to habitat loss, poaching, and conflicts for pasturelands between humans and their cattle.
