Prevention+ Pakistan Prevention+ aims to address gender inequality by promoting masculinities based on equality, non-violence and care-giving, and by focusing on boys and men, and girls and women, as agents of change. The long-term objectives of this five-year program are to contribute to a gender just society which is free of gender-based violence (GBV). Prevention+ aims to transform social norms that drive GBV, and contribute to related changes in legislation, policies and practices of governments and other service providers. Rutgers, Promundo, and Sonke Gender Justice, along with local partners, will work with institutions and male and female adolescents and adults across Indonesia, Pakistan, Uganda, Rwanda and selected MENA countries. Women’s rights organizations are essential partners of this program to support activities and advocate for change. The MenEngage Alliance will further promote Prevention+ objectives internationally through its network and policy advocacy. The program is evidence-based; it has been developed on the basis of research findings that show that well-designed gender-transformative programs with both sexes of different age groups are highly effective in order to underpin the positive transformation of rigid gender norms, and contribute to a society free of GBV. Prevention+ is funded by the Government of the Netherlands.

Great Apes Conservation Fund The purpose of this project is the long term conservation of hoolock gibbons and their habitat in Assam by producing a group of trained, skilled and motivated forest guards who can take up the difficult task of protection and conservation by involving local human communities. Forest Guards who work in gibbon habitats will be educated on methods used to protect gibbons, the identification of various species of gibbons, gibbon survey techniques, legal protection available for gibbons, the population status and threats to the survival of gibbons, and the value and ethics of wildlife conservation and the need to bring about an attitudinal change among forest staff and the community at large. Specifically, this will be done by: providing training to 100 Forest Guards posted in habitats occupied by hoolock gibbons; carrying out five - 7 day intensive, residential courses on hoolock gibbon conservation comprised of lectures, seminars, group discussions, individual and group assignments and field study at the Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary; and carrying out a pre- and post- training assessment of the knowledge and attitudinal change resulting from the course in the various trainees.

CONSERVING THE ENDANGERED WESTERN HOOLOCK GIBBON IN COMMUNITY-MANAGED FORESTS OF NORTHEAST INDIA The endangered western hoolock gibbon (Hoolock hoolock) is threatened by loss of closed-canopy forests, and illegal hunting. In the hill states of Northeast India, the closed-canopy forests that gibbons inhabit is largely under the ownership and management of communities. While there is local conservation interest to secure forests and gibbons, these local initiatives are in need of outside support, largely to address two main threats to gibbons. The first is changing land-use patterns and erosion of traditional practices of conserving village forests are resulting in loss of the species habitat, while the second is that gibbons are being directly impacted by illegal hunting. Project objectives include to: (1) implement conservation initiatives to reduce threats to the western hoolock gibbon in select community-managed forests of Nagaland and Meghalaya; (2) assess the potential for gibbon conservation in community-managed forests of Khasi Hills and Ri-Bhoi districts, Meghalaya; and, (3) spread awareness of gibbons as a flagship species for closed-canopy forests in Northeast India.
MONITORING OF KEY TIGER (PANTHERA TIGRIS TIGRIS) POPULATIONS IN CORRIDORS IN CENTRAL INDIAN TIGER LANDSCAPE, INDIA Recent scientific work on tigers shows that to ensure long-term viable tiger populations it is essential to focus on corridors connecting tiger source sites. A landscape-level approach towards maintaining meta-populations is key, but in a developing economy like India which supports about 60% of the global tiger population, conserving multiple use areas (corridors) is very challenging. The burgeoning infrastructural expansion, linear structures and projects such as mining seriously threaten the persistence of these corridors and strongly impact wildlife. The goal of the project is to upgrade the status of key tiger bearing areas outside Protected Areas (PAs), ensuring better wildlife management strategies and mainstreaming of such areas into tiger conservation strategies. Project objectives include: (1) To generate long-term spatial data on tiger densities and population dynamics of tigers outside PAs to influence the larger tiger conservation policy framework at the landscape and national level; and, (2) To build the capacity of forest staff and other stakeholders in monitoring tiger populations outside PAs and use of individual-level data in human-tiger conflict mitigation, planning mitigation measures for linear infrastructures, monitor dispersal events, etc.

A study to understand the pervasive threat of exploitation and trade of Indian Pangolin and Theraphosid spiders and to involve local community in species and habitat conservation through education The genus Poecilotheria of the tarantula family Theraphosidae has 14 species in the world and seven of these are endemic to India. All species are threatened by illegal harvesting of adult tarantulas for the pet trade and habitat loss. There is currently a lack of information on the extent of these threats and their impacts to the overall population. To fill this gap and address the illegal harvesting of tarantulas for the pet trade in Tamil Nadu, this two-year grant will support: interviews with local community members in 52 villages in Tamil Nadu to assess the existing trade and ongoing threats to tarantulas in the Western Ghats; assessment of the habitat quality and rate of species decline; development of a conservation education program for select local communities (approximately 10,000 people) living in the Western Ghats to create awareness about the importance of tarantulas and the need for conservation; establishment of a diverse network, including universities and local communities, to secure engagement on tarantula conservation at multiple levels in India; and development of a short video on the threats facing tarantulas and importance of protecting these species.
Safe guarding the Greater One-horned Rhino meta-population in North Bengal and Uttar Pradesh, India with community support through conservation education and awareness The purpose of this project is to bring about attitudinal and behavior change among people living near protected areas with small rhino populations and to coexist with the animals. The objectives are as follows: (1) To educate educators and community members about the importance of rhinos and its conservation; (2) To reduce human-rhino conflict by conveying positive attitudes and effective preventative and practical behavior; (3) To evaluate participants to ascertain the extent to which they used the information and material given in the primary workshop and find out about the problems they encountered; (4) To create a network of educators that can help promote species conservation beyond project period.

Conservation of Asian Elephant through Community Participation in North Kanara Landscape, Karnataka State, India The purpose of this project is to achieve conservation of the Northern Karnataka elephant population through mitigation of human-elephant conflict (HEC) and knowledge-based conservation planning. By reducing crop damage in the project area applicant hopes to raise the tolerance of farmers to elephant presence and contribute to conservation of elephants. HEC is expected to increase in coming years given that many farmers in the project area are taking up sugarcane cultivation. Applicant will carry out experiments on low cost elephant deterrent measures and implement them with the involvement of local people. Objectives include, (1) implementation of Community-based Conflict Management (CBCM) in affected villages with involvement of local farmers and capacity building of the farmers in implementation of these measures, (2) carrying out experiments to assess the effectiveness of low-cost mitigation measures on captive elephants, (3) creating a database of wild elephants in the project area by building visual identification key for each elephant, (4) mapping and assessing quality of habitat for elephants and identification and assessment of corridors in Belgaum Division, (5) extension programs for creating awareness on CBCM model and elephant conservation.
