The Ruaha-Rungwa ecosystem is affected by IWT, especially a recent increase in bushmeat poaching, and human-wildlife conflict. This project will reduce demand for and occurrence of IWT and reduce poverty by diversifying and developing sustainable livelihoods and strengthening household financial resilience, expanding educational outreach, reducing the costs of living with wildlife, and strengthening law enforcement capacity through both tested and novel approaches in two critical zones of the ecosystem (MBOMIPA WMA and Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi Game Reserves) and adjacent communities.
