Long civil wars in South Sudan have affected peoples’ livelihoods immeasurably but led to gains in recovery of wildlife populations. Indiscriminate poaching for animal protein and income is changing the gains rapidly. The African golden cat (AGC), a new country record, is a victim of poaching as a by-catch. Our livestock seedbank project provides alternative livelihood option diverting communities from poaching to save the AGC.

In Ethiopia, D. ombet is found in the relic Desa'a forest, and our own previous studies on it showed it is threatened by overexploitation and habitat degradation. As a result, it is now with lack of regeneration and recruitments. This project will jointly work with the local stakeholders to introduce three interlinked conservation interventions for the species: capacity building, livelihood improvement and habitat restoration.
