DECREASING HUMAN-ELEPHANT CONFLICT IN GABON The purpose of this project is to support an elephant conservation effort in Gabon by reducing human-elephant conflict (HEC) and improving local livelihoods. Gabon is the primary remaining stronghold for the species, with an estimated 95,110 elephants (over half the remaining forest elephant population). This project is intended to conserve African forest elephants and their habitat by addressing the impacts of HEC, building government capacity to monitor and respond to HEC incidents, and promoting pro.conservation agriculture practices. Specific activities include: (1) piloting a national HEC data collection strategy, including support for equipment, training of government officials, and analysis of collected data; (2) systematically testing three lower specification elephant-proof fence designs, including support for materials and construction and maintenance and monitoring; (3) implementing protocols to gather data on social interactions and behaviors between elephants and local communities, including deploying baseline social surveys and camera traps; (4) assessing and piloting agricultural improvement practices; and (5) updating and publishing a comprehensive national HEC strategy, endorsed by the government of Gabon.
USAID-Gabon "This project supports a conservation effort in the Minkb-Ivindo Corridor and throughout Gabon by enhancing the long-term viability of threatened felids and other large mammals in Gabon, through the delineation of wildlife corridors. This project is intended to conserve two felid species, the leopard (Panthera pardus) and the African golden cat (Caracal aurata), and benefit African forest elephants by addressing the impacts of road development and settlements in which there are intense exploitative competition with bushmeat hunters and vulnerablility to cable snares commonly employed by bushmeat hunters. Specific activities include: 1) Identification of potential core felid populations across Gabon, 2) Identification of potential corridor areas between the key core populations across Gabon, and 3) Assessment of felid movement and dispersal patterns to inform corridor design (using GPS collars)..."

Constitutional Analysis Program This CA builds awareness on acts of Venezuela's executive and judicial branch towards the National Assembly. Support is provided to civil society organizations (CSOs) that track judicial sector decisions that affect the executive and legislative branches. It also supports CSOs that track freedom of information compliance. This is accomplished through constitutional analyses of the actions taken by the GOV's executive and judicial branches and building awareness internationally and domestically of its findings and conclusions, which are shared widely so that key democratic actors can have verifiable information when informing their constituents regarding decisions by President Maduro and his allies. International pressure as well as pressure by Venezuelan citizens who will now have more information regarding the machinations of the executive and judicial branches could be a determining factor on future attempted machinations by the Supreme Court (TSJ).
