A conservation program cannot be effective without public support. The foundation, in partnership with concerned communities and stakeholders, introduces innovative interventions for improving their living conditions to promote conservation. The community-based conservation programs aim to manage and ameliorate the conflict between wildlife conservation and economic development by encouraging rural communities to balance their monetary needs with their respect for the environment. To dilute the intensity of the human-carnivore conflict, the SLF has been executing the following livestock depredation mitigation and compensation projects in collaboration with the local communities and range province wildlife departments.
