Elephants often come into conflict with farmers when they attack crops. Pro Wildlife supports projects that enable wild animals and humans to live together peacefully - for example in southern Tanzania with its significant elephant populations. Various means have been used in the project area to achieve good results and crop damage has been reduced by 42 percent.

Coexistence of humans and animals, bees save elephants

In order to get elephants to turn back when they approach villages and fields, fences are sometimes equipped with beehives , sometimes with containers of smelly liquid or with solar-powered flashlights . In some cases, 80 percent of elephants have been kept away from human settlements. In addition, school and student programs, film nights and other activities are winning over more and more people to the cause of protecting elephants.

Coexistence of humans and animals, the Green Project

Since 1999, Pro Wildlife has been supporting the Limbe Wildlife Centre in southwest Cameroon. The project combines the rescue of great apes in need with the needs of the local population. More than 30 locals have found jobs in the monkey orphanage itself. In 2012, the Green Project was also launched, which creates new alternative sources of income and at the same time optimises the care of the monkeys.
