This video highlights Simonda Kakola, a young Namibian farmer in the Kwandu Communal Conservancy, part of the vast Kavango–Zambezi Transfrontier Conservation Area. Like many rural families, he faces human–wildlife conflict, with elephants raiding crops and lions threatening livestock.

The Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme, an international initiative co-funded by the EU, FFGE, and FDA, partners with WWF Namibia and farmers like Simonda. Implemented by FAO, CIRAD, CIFOR-ICRAF, and WCS, it aims to reduce conflict, enhance food security, and strengthen communal conservancies.

The deaths of mountain lion P-78 from rat poison and a vehicle strike, alongside 14 Florida panthers killed by vehicles this year, underscore a critical threat. Endangered species like mountain lions, panthers, and manatees are pushed to the brink by increased human activity, habitat loss, urban sprawl, and a lack of wildlife corridors.

The Center for Biological Diversity leads efforts to establish vital wildlife connectivity across the nation. Join our expert staff in California and Florida to learn more about our work protecting wildlife where they live.

Increased human activity, urban sprawl, and development are pushing endangered species like mountain lions, panthers, and manatees to the brink. Recent incidents, including the death of California mountain lion P-78 from rat poison and vehicle impact, and 14 Florida panther fatalities this year due to collisions, underscore this critical threat.

The Center is a leader in establishing wildlife connectivity across the nation. Join our expert staff in California and Florida to discuss our vital work in protecting wildlife where they live.
