Somewhere along this path in the past 20 years it became all too apparent that we would need to work on the other side of the fence the people side of the fence not just be a voice speaking on behalf of the wildlife if we were to truly have an enduring impact on the future for large predators. That meant sharpening our focus on innovative management tools based in science to reduce human wildlife conflict as well as investing more in people educating especially children and addressing the many livelihood challenges faced by local farmers who live with wildlife.
