Other projects
The aim of this project first phase is to develop a monkeys management techniques to reduce human-monkeys conflict on the farm-forests crossing point, and improve animal welfare through encouraging use of ecological integrated pest mitigation techniques instead of lethal ones that are commonly used presently.
The use of nets to prevent primates from crop raiding.
His second project focuses on influencing the communities around Uluguru Mountains to value and conserve primates. Specifically the project shall:
Monkey on alert.
i) promote the use of non-lethal techniques for monkeys’ control against crop damage, in 50 villages surrounding Uluguru Mountains;
ii) provide conservation education/awareness programme through popular local radio stations. This will provide an opportunity to farmers, policy makers and interested parties to get informed on the best practices for monkeys’ control, and the need to conserve them;
iii) form partnership with various institutions working in the area to influence change of behaviour of local population toward primates.
The phase is expected to be implemented in duration of one year.
