These manuals are a follow-up to a series of projects executed in the Kakum and Bia Conservation Areas in Ghana’s Central and Western Region respectively. The project – titled “Reducing HumanElephant Conflict through improved monitoring, stakeholder engagements and law enforcement”– was funded by the African Elephant Fund (AEF) and implemented by Conservation Alliance (CA), in collaboration with the Wildlife Division of the Forestry commission, and the Chiefs and people of the beneficiary communities. AEF received numerous request for assistance from member countries to set up similar elephant crop-raiding techniques and provide training in human-elephant conflict management. In response, CA prepared these manuals in English with a view to disseminate, as widely as possible, the project outcomes.
