Programme overview
Programme focus
Human-Wildlife Coexistence and Species Conservation connects DESCF’s work on snake conservation, snakebite awareness, elephant conservation planning, and community-focused public education. The programme is designed to reduce fear, misinformation, and harmful responses while encouraging safer relationships between people and wildlife.
Why this work matters
Human-wildlife conflict is not only an ecological issue; it is also a communication, safety, and trust issue. When communities receive practical knowledge and responsible guidance, they are more likely to respond safely and less likely to harm wildlife unnecessarily.
Current activities
The programme includes snake conservation and snakebite awareness, coexistence education, elephant conservation planning, conflict-sensitive communication, community awareness, and safer response messaging. The website should present this work as a serious conservation and public education portfolio, not as isolated event photos.

Evidence and outputs
Measurable programme records
Add metrics when they are verified.
Programme outputs should be added only when DESCF can verify them. This protects credibility and avoids inflated impact claims.
Programme evidence
Coexistence work shows landscape, people, and institutional collaboration.
Human-wildlife coexistence pages need visual proof of field presence, habitat context, and organised collaboration—not isolated animal photos without explanation.
