Once the presence of a tiger close to a village is confirmed by the village HWC team, a specialized task force will be called to either install camera traps, closely monitor the tiger’s movement or ensure measures to scare tigers away from villages are taken. Close, coordinated communication is critical for ensuring responses are timely and adequate when addressing community concerns. In addition to these HWC teams, installing tiger proof livestock enclosures have provided increased security for communities and their livestock, as tigers tend not to return if they have not been able to penetrate the enclosures.

Such conflicts have historically seen the Balinese and Javan tigers being hunted to extinction. The extirpation of apex predators such as tigers from a wildlife community can lead to population explosions of reservoir species more likely to come in contact with humans and livestock. \nRecognising that the safety of communities and their assets is critical for saving the tiger, the Sumatran Tiger Project partners with local communities to prevent and manage Human-Wildlife Conflict (HWC). \nProject analyzed spatiotemporal patterns of human tiger conflict to identify the most conflict prone districts within five tiger landscapes. In this project area, around 80 tiger encounters were documented on an annual basis. To address these conflicts, HWC coordination teams prepared training plans and Standard Operating Procedures to ensure safe human tiger conflict management for both people and wildlife and created communication networks and tiger proof enclosures  to increase responses and effectiveness in HWC handling.  \nThe initiatives will prevent future human and wildlife conflicts that could trigger future zoonotic outbreaks.   The transmission of pathogens from animals to humans has brought into sharp focus zoonotic diseases that are spread by animals forced to move out of their natural habitats that are increasingly being destroyed.","Support_Needed":"This campaign can support project's mission by increasing awareness on five specific solutions developed by the project that have becoming the best practices in reducing human and wildlife conflicts in project's landscapes.

Forming village, district, and provincial human and wildlife conflict mitigation teams in all landscapes: Gunung Leuser National Park, Kerinci Seblat National Park, Berbak Sembilang National Park and Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. The initiative has been completed with budgets coming from the project and partners. \n2. Conducting advocacy training for relevant stakeholders on  increasing communications and reporting skills when responding to human and wildlife conflicts. The initiative has been conducted in all landscapes. Communication networks (in forms of WA Groups) were formed in all landscapes. Members of these networks consist of national parks staff, BKSDA, journalists, and wildlife experts who actively coordinated and discussed solutions to human and wildlife conflicts at fields. \n3. Developing curriculum on HWC mitigation and hosting a series of human tiger conflict mitigation training - using the syllabus - for different targeted groups, e.g., national park/local government staff, veterinarians, and the local community. \n4. Building tiger-proof enclosures in targeted landscapes. The Sumatran tiger project built 11 tiger proof enclosures between 2017-2019 - three in Gunung Leuser National Park and eight in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park. The initiative is ongoing based on the needs at project sites. The initiative was also adopted by members of communities with their own budget or co-funding budget with partners.\n5. Strengthening village capacity to handle conflict. From 2016 to June 2019, the project developed two independent village communities (Masyarakat Desa Mandiri) in North Sumatra Province and five independent village communities in Bukit Barisan Selatan Province. The two villages have become part of larger independent village community networks handling human and wildlife conflicts in Sumatra.","Result_And_Outcome":"1. Teams that are responsible for the monitoring and management of human and tiger conflict, as well as other wildlife conflicts in their respective landscapes, have increased capacity to resolve the problems.\n2. The outcome of this training has resulted in positive local media coverage and articles that support tiger conservation and project activities. Project has also successfully formed four communication networks in the project's landscapes (in forms of WA groups) that increase communication and coordination between relevant stakeholders in handling human and wildlife conflicts at fields.  \n3. The curriculum is used as guidelines to systematically prevent human and wildlife conflicts. \n4. A recent analysis showed members of communities are still actively using these tiger proof enclosures to protect their livestock. These enclosures have effectively reduced risks of HWCs and increased people’s quality of life in targeted landscapes.\n5. These interventions empower communities to independently handle HWCs based on evidence-based mitigation protocols developed by the project.\nSpecific to livestock predations, the project has managed to reduce livestock predation cases to zero in the villages where tiger proof enclosures have been developed. And based on project partners' reports for PIR (project implementation report) there are no human casualties in the project's landscapes as human and wildlife conflicts in the area have been handled using standardized conflict mitigation protocols. "}}

Many of the problems arising from subsistence agriculture are the consequence of inappropriate International agricultural policies to address hunger and malnutrition in the tropics and sub-tropics. Typically, these policies have promoted land clearance and the intensification of farming systems using monocultures and the application of high inputs of manufactured inorganic fertilizers, pesticides etc. These costly practices are not appropriate for subsistence farmers with only about 2ha of land and an income of only US$2 per day.\n2. Typically, the result of this conventional approach to agriculture is the clearance of a new area of forest or woodland, deforestation and land degradation, characterized by the breakdown of ecological functions and the breakdown of society norms including the trafficking of wildlife, etc.\n3. The resulting agroecosystem dysfunction increases the risk of new zoonotic diseases due to the increased interface between people and wildlife.","Support_Needed":"","Activities_To_Solve_The_Problem":"","Description_Of_Solution":"An adoptable and successful 3-step approach to reverse the negative impacts of subsistence farming and to meet the needs of the farmers has been developed, tried and tested in Cameroon. It uses: (i) leguminous shrub species like Sesbania sesban and Calliandra calothyrus at about 20,000 plants per ha. This restores soil nitrogen, organic matter and initiates a functioning and much more productive agroecosystem (eg. 3-fold higher cereal crop yields); (ii) culturally-important, indigenous food and medicinal trees like Dacryodes edulis (Safou), and Irvingia gabonensis (Bush mango) to diversify the farming system. These are selected for their high quality and marketable fruits/nuts and simply propagated by cuttings to create elite cultivars. This diversification of the agroecosystem increases its sustainability; (iii) simple post-harvest processing of the tree products for wider and year-round marketing. The income generated from this can then be used to purchase inputs to further increase food crop yields. \nThe elements of the solution are to: (a) restore soil fertility and ecological health at virtually zero cost, e.g., without use of inorganic fertilizers and pesticides; (b) generate new sources of income for subsistence households; (c) community-based farmer training and capacity building in agroforestry and simple horticulture techniques.","Result_And_Outcome":"Typically, 10-30 people are trained per village. Subsequently, the skills are disseminated by word of mouth to neighbouring villages as they set up satellite village nurseries for trees and crops.\nOutcomes and impact have been recorded by farmer interviews and surveys. They include: improved soil fertility and health; reduced hunger and malnutrition; increased income and improved livelihoods; and increased biodiversity and carbon sequestration – as published in the science literature. This has transformed the lives of the participating communities, improved agroecosystem functions and restored local level biodiversity in farming systems. In addition, rural communities have developed new local businesses creating employment and improved local infrastructure."}}

Our goal has always been to work on a landscape scale and integrate other sectors of rural development within our holistic approach to regenerate whole regions. Part of this is to stop encroachment of smallholders into forest areas by increasing their profits and rewarding them for conservation agriculture practices while safeguarding the integrity of wild habitats.","Support_Needed":"Increased visibility, combined efforts allow to stem larger projects together and might lead us in directions we wouldn't have wandered off into by ourselves.","Activities_To_Solve_The_Problem":"We engage rural communities with participatory approaches to strengthen group decision making processes and bring about change. We design cropping systems on a field scale and zones on a landscape scale, including buffer zones, rewilding zones and agricultural zones. We provide organic inputs for crop and livestock production, bio pesticides, bio herbicides etc, organic animal feed supplements that allow to eliminate antibiotics, and organic food preservatives as well as organic sanitizing agents for eliminating pathogens from stables, which allows to eliminate all chemicals from the food chain and restore ecosystem health while increasing profits of agricultural production. Our technology enhances resilience of agro-ecosystems and reduces GHG emissions and pollutants from agricultural production. Our technology and products boost immune systems of individual plants and animals as well as increase nutrient density in food which all taken together will boost human health as well as the health of rural communities.","Description_Of_Solution":"Working with smallholders, agri-businesses, donors on several interventions. Among them was Life and Nature Project of FAO for example.","Result_And_Outcome":"Increased know-how and skills of smallholders in CA practices. Disseminated variety of cover crops species into villages. Increased water availability and increased health of watersheds. Increased profits in ag production, increased livelihoods of families."}}

","Activities_To_Solve_The_Problem":"Our projects align perfectly with several of the activities on the Solutions Map.","Description_Of_Solution":"A group of patrol units was established to protect the forest in an 8 km radius around the Wildlife Release Station. The patrol members are from the nearby village of Chi Phat which evolved from a poaching village to an eco-tourism village through assistance from Wildlife Alliance. The project provides salary, insurance, equipment and food to a group of men and women that protect the forest from hunting and snares and monitor signs of wildlife during their patrols. ","Result_And_Outcome":"The area is now populated by various animals that were victims of wildlife trafficking who were rescued, rehabilitated, and released back into nature. We have used camera traps and radio collars to monitor the growth in populations. There are birds now singing everywhere!"}}

Firstly, while knowledge of the link between human contact with wildlife and zoonotic pandemics is becoming more prevalent, there are still members of Vietnamese society who need to be made aware of the fact. This in turn means that not everyone knows something like this is preventable – we can counteract any future outbreaks by breaking our links to wildlife. The illegal consumption, keeping, and trade of wild animals lies at the root of the problem, and by putting a stop to all such illegal activities, we can ensure the future safety and health of our communities. Secondly, this public awareness needs to stretch beyond the immediate state of panic created by Covid-19. People’s overall mindsets need to be changed to such an extent that emphasis remains on eradicating the illegal wildlife trade for the safety and health of our society – even after the current pandemic has been overcome.","Support_Needed":"With the support of other organizations with similar goals, expertise and experiences can be shared to strengthen work done by all involved parties, ultimately creating a global effort to eradicate the illegal wildlife trade and make the world a safer place - both for humans and wildlife.","Activities_To_Solve_The_Problem":"Given the zoonotic nature of the current and the majority of past global pandemics, as well as Vietnam's status as a wildlife consumer country and go-between for the trade to other Southeast Asian countries, ENV's mission to end the illegal wildlife trade in and out of Vietnam helps to address one aspect of their root cause - humans' contact with and consumption of wildlife.","Description_Of_Solution":"Affecting behavioral change by raising public awareness on the link between the illegal wildlife trade and zoonotic pandemics, involving the public in ending the illegal wildlife trade, and impressing upon the Vietnamese government and enforcement agencies the grave importance of prohibiting the illegal wildlife trade on all fronts. This forms part of ENV’s integrated approach to combatting the illegal wildlife trade, made up of public awareness creation, enforcement, and legal advocacy, and these messages are delivered by ENV through various channels, including media statements to an extensive journalist network, viral social media campaigns, Public Service Announcement (PSA) films, radio shows and adverts on national radio, public events, and more. Alongside our efforts to educate the public and in order to effect greater change and achieve further reach, ENV expects the government to launch a national communication program designed to spread the message: Contact with wildlife directly threatens the health of our society.","Result_And_Outcome":"Through free corporate partnerships with Goldsun Focus Media, Chicilon Media, and Saga Media, ENV’s Covid-19 campaign resources (various posters and the Covid-19 PSA) have been shared across Vietnam, with an estimated number of impressions of around 18 million across thousands of screens in residential and office buildings, airports, and public transport. The Covid-19 PSA has also been screened on more than 50 national TV channels, and various national TV news segments and national radio shows and ads have featured ENV’s Covid-19 content. Finally, through ongoing viral social media campaigns, ENV is reaching thousands of Vietnamese citizens on a weekly basis and engaging them with the Covid-19 messaging."}}

","Support_Needed":"ACTAsia will need support to create a scheme of learning to include interesting topics and guest speakers from around the world to help start the clubs off (Alliance members can join in or support to suggest and introduce). Highlighting problems the world faces so that each clubs can decide its own future theme that it will tackle and present back to each other.

","Activities_To_Solve_The_Problem":"The One Health University Clubs would be run in partnership from One Health China, and so this connection would be strengthened within China, bolstering EndPandemics position should academics be called upon for support in campaigns in the future (both students and Lecturers/Professors). One Health Clubs would be encouraged to join in Youth groups of the UN to share their findings and present their findings so to raise the profile of students in China and their solutions to the challenges the world faces. ","Description_Of_Solution":"New project: \nTo set up 8 clubs within Universities across China - partnership with each University and One Health China. \nTo supply a scheme of learning with guest speakers for the first semester. To help guide the Lecturers and students to One Health projects to tackle for the second semester. \n ","Result_And_Outcome":"Expected:\nA range of One Health projects with innovative solutions presented by each student group. \nAbility to share these presentations with local governments in China and at UN conventions or other relevant Conferences and meetings. \nCreate a voice within China that has One Health at its core and can articulate the need for using this framework to tackle problems the world faces such as future pandemics. \nCreating a group of critical thinking, innovative One Health future \nExpected results: 8 Universities, 8 Clubs 160 students target Year 1.
