A similar project called the Interim Relief Scheme (IRS) has been jointly implemented by The Corbett Foundation in collaboration with WWF-India and support from other partners since 1998. This project compensates villagers who have lost livestock to large carnivores, reducing community antagonism towards wildlife and preventing revenge killings around the Corbett tiger reserve in Uttarakhand. IRS is India's longest-running and most effective large cat conservation program by non-governmental organizations. It was also implemented in Kanha Tiger Reserve, Madhya Pradesh, from 2016 to 2022. The scheme provides immediate ex-gratia financial assistance in addition to compensation from the forest department. IRS has proven to be an effective conservation strategy, protecting large cats from community retribution. It has transformed community antagonism into whole-hearted support for TCF's long-term wildlife conservation goals. Despite high livestock depredation rates, there have been no recorded instances of retribution against predators in the history of the IRS program. The project has spent approximately USD 500,000 so far. Interactions with local communities during the kill inspection have raised awareness about wildlife conservation, encouraging their active participation in conservation efforts. As a result of IRS, many tigers and leopards have been spared retribution by aggrieved villagers. Projects like the Interim Relief Scheme (IRS) play a crucial role in mitigating human-wildlife conflicts and gaining community buy-in for conservation efforts. As conservation managers, important we remember that conservation MUST NOT and SHOULD NOT come at the cost of community well-being and safety. All conservation efforts can be successful only when they prioritize the needs and concerns of local communities and balance them with ecological aspects.

Some good news: A new report shows California's three-year pilot program to compensate livestock owners for wolf-related expenses, has been popular with livestock owners. And, nearly two-thirds of the funding went towards nonlethal measures. As we watch California wolf populations grow, we can look to the success of this pilot program that using modern, nonlethal methods before conflicts arise is far more effective than killing wolves.

How can we revolutionize livestock oversight, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness? Accompany us on this journey as we embark on an in-depth exploration into the foundational structure of this groundbreaking odyssey, illuminating how cutting edge technology is refashioning the path of livestock monitoring.

Policy bridges the gap between research and its implementation, especially in resource-limited settings. This course offered by the Feed the Future Innovation lab for livestock systems is a perfect place to start if you want to learn how to draft policy briefs. The course has video modules and a lot of resources that we can learn from. And it's self-paced! Can't wait to translate what I have learned to livestock systems research. Many thanks, Renata Serra University of Florida and Feed the Future Initiative. #livestockpolicy #foodandagriculture

🌲🌳The integration of livestock into agroforestry systems has many benefits for both the livestock and the environment. While basic principles of grazing management such as using appropriate stocking rates, controlling weeds, avoiding damage to sensitive areas and monitoring animal condition apply, some additional considerations are suggested when implementing forest grazing. 🎧 Listen to the latest episode of the Canadian Beef Cattle Podcast to learn more. ⬇️ https://lnkd.in/g7NEg2bD

From buying or birthing livestock and bringing it to the market, to machinery, maintenance and more, ranchers take on big debts, driving them out of the ranching business.
