Transhumance and Conservation at a Crossroads: Comparative Investigation across West and Central African Landscapes of Global Biodiversity Significance The purpose of this new two-year grant is to understand the threats posed by the seasonal movement of mobile pastoralists and their livestock (i.e., transhumance) to wildlife populations in priority conservation landscapes in southern Chad (e.g., Zakouma National Park) and the Central African Republic (CAR; e.g., Manovo-Gounda-St. Floris National Park, Chinko Reserve), and identify lessons learned from the W-Arly-Pendjari (WAP) protected area complex in West Africa that can improve the compatibility of protected area management and transhumance in Central Africa. This project will contribute to the conservation of USFWS trust resources, including federally protected species, such as African elephants. Specific activities include (1) conducting an institutional analysis of transhumance governance in southern Chad and CAR in relation to the WAP conservation complex; (2) producing a transhumant mobility analysis in the Chadian regions of Moyen-Chari and Salamat; and (3) conducting geospatial analysis of pastoral resource distribution and connectivity across southern Chad and CAR. The funding source is a 632(a) transfer from USAID; transfer responsibilities include implementation of the Central Africa Regional Program for the Environment (CARPE).
African Elephant Conservation Fund Funding will support essential anti-poaching activities including ranger training and installing a radio network in Zakouma, Chad. Savannah elephants on the northern extent of Central Africa were decimated in the years preceding 2008 but through recruiting able-bodied rangers, professional training, regular provision of supplies and improved effectiveness, poaching has decreased drastically and elephant numbers have stabilized

PROTECTING THE GREATER ZAKOUMA ECOSYSTEM, CHAD Funds under this award are to be used to expand the conservation successes in Zakouma National Park (ZNP), Chad, to the Greater Zakouma Ecosystem (GZE), representing a ten-fold increase in wildlife habitat under improved management and protection. This project will extend efforts beyond the ZNP boundary, including Siniaka Minia Faunal Reserve and other critical wildlife corridors, to ensure the continued increase of the elephant population, which has seen steady growth to over 550 individuals under African Parks management, as well as the protection of Kordofan giraffe, of which 60 percent of the global population is found in ZNP, and other key wildlife species, by working with the local communities, addressing conservation and land-use issues related to transhumance, and expanding law enforcement surveillance and wildlife monitoring efforts. Activities include: 1) expanding law enforcement and wildlife monitoring efforts through a combination of aerial, horseback, and river-based patrols to the broader landscape; 2) developing a stakeholder-based GZE land-use plan with local communities, including mobile pastoralists; and 3) monitoring the movements and impacts of nomadic groups around the GZE as part of a broader USFWS program focused on addressing the conservation impacts of transhumance across the Sudano-Sahel region.
