Wildlife

Law enforcement and strict regulations governing the use of wildlife have limited support among rural poor and do little to build local understanding for why conservation is good, especially when such approaches, from the perception of local people, limit options for a better livelihood. COMACO achieves conservation differently by building stronger linkages between improved land use practices and increased market incentives that lead to increased wildlife production and habitat protection. This impact on conservation is evident from COMACO's capacity to lower such threats to wildlife, such as snaring, illegal hunting, and the local manufacturing of illegal firearms.
