In the Habu village in Botswana, human-wildlife conflict, lack of economic opportunities and livestock disease have driven young people away. 

Community conservancies provide one-way forward, as they can improve livelihoods and income, which incentivise communities to protect wildlife and limit poaching. Find out how the Sustainable Wildlife Management (SWM) Programme supports the Habu community conservancy and encourages its model of human-wildlife coexistence across the country. 

The SWM Programme is an Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) initiative, funded by the European Union (EU) with co-funding from the French Facility for Global Environment (FFEM) and the French Development Agency (AFD).
