Summary
Human-Carnivore Conflict (HCC) in Queen Elizabeth Conservation Area, Uganda, impacts local communities through predation of livestock resulting in loss of income, and human injuries or fatalities, often leading to the retaliatory killing of carnivores. WWF will work with stakeholders to: improve local governance systems and strengthen stakeholder collaboration; address critical HCC prevention, mitigation and response gaps through a systematic multi-stakeholder approach; and develop holistic solutions, such as capacity building for rangers, and training and livelihood support for local communities.
