Summary
The project aims to reduce poaching and supply/demand for jaguar parts while strengthening livelihoods of marginalised communities from the Manuripi-Santa Rosa Corridor(MSRC) in the Bolivian Amazon. The project addresses key drivers of jaguar IWT by: 1) changing attitudes/behaviours/social norms towards jaguars through social marketing and behaviour change campaigns; 2) strengthening livelihoods by reducing economic losses, food vulnerability from reduced jaguar conflict and coexistence incentives; 3) improving multi-institutional governance, coordination, and preparedness to address conflict and IWT.
The UK remains committed to playing a significant role in the world, in our national interest, in the interests of the poorest, and to ensure a liveable planet.
