Community Honorary Wildlife Wardens as a Bottom-up Approach to Address Human-Wildlife Conflicts in Lower Kinabatangan

This project supports the Community Honorary Wildlife Warden (CHWW) group in mitigating human-elephant conflicts and promoting elephant conservation in the Lower Kinabatangan Floodplain. It involves gathering data on conflict trends, assessing local community perceptions, and monitoring the physiological status of wild elephants. The findings inform tailored conflict mitigation strategies aligned with local geographic and social contexts to enhance coexistence and protection of this endangered population.
