Summary
Globally significant and recovering wildlife populations are being forced to disperse outside protected areas (PAs) through increasingly fragmented habitats, increasing human-wildlife conflict with significant impacts for both people and wildlife. This project aims to scale-up proven approaches to address these challenges in lowland Nepal, through ‘Human-Wildlife Coexistence (HWCx) champions’ to support up-scaling of HWCx; investments to mitigate HWC and effects of linear infrastructure (e.g. roads, irrigation canals) and habitat
fragmentation alongside livelihood investments to support communities to coexist with wildlife.
