Zimbabwe is home to a diverse group of people and to a quarter of the world’s remaining wild elephant population. This is not without its challenges for communities that live with and around wildlife. 

​

This toolkit is designed to explain and simplify how beekeeping can create 'living fences' to help reduce human-wildlife conflict in communities coexisting with elephants. Bees naturally deter elephants, and by providing communities with the skills and knowledge from this toolkit, we can protect crops and lives. 

​

In turn, this approach promotes sustainable livelihoods through income from beekeeping and positive coexistence between people and wildlife.
