Wildlife conservation cannot succeed if communities carry an unfair share of its costs. BIOCOS Nepal works with households, herders and local institutions to understand conflict and develop practical measures that protect people, livestock and wildlife.
• Document livestock losses and other wildlife-related impacts
• Identify conflict locations and vulnerable households
• Help households prepare relief and compensation claims
• Construct and promote predator-resistant livestock corrals
• Improve livestock-protection practices
• Support community monitoring and communication
• Provide awareness on safe behaviour around large carnivores
• Consult communities before designing interventions
• Explore appropriate livelihood and habitat-support measures
• Assess carefully governed early-warning technologies where appropriate
Manang and high-mountain pastoral landscapes
BIOCOS Nepal documents snow leopard attacks on livestock, assists affected households with compensation procedures and supports the construction of safer corrals for yaks, goats and other livestock.
Chitwan, Banke and Bardia landscapes
The Human–Tiger Coexistence Programme identifies conflict patterns, vulnerable settlements and infrastructure gaps. Its phased approach combines research, safety awareness, livestock protection and locally appropriate prevention measures.
Other programme landscapes
Information on wildlife movement, community concerns and livelihood dependence is incorporated into the planning of red panda, pheasant and other conservation work.
