Our Wildlife, Community and Forest Protection Programme consists of five key components:

1. Beehive Fences: prevent elephants from raiding farmland by tapping into their innate fear of bees. Elephants are deterred from the nutritious crops on their doorstep and persuaded back into neighbouring forest. The bees not only protect farms but boost the pollination of crops and local flora. 
2. Beekeeping: the peacekeeping bees provide an alternative and sustainable livelihood from the sale of honey and wax, which Wild Survivors help to facilitate. Our locally employed beekeepers deliver training to the farmers hosting beehive fences, and women in the village to provide financial independence and future opportunities in diversifying income. 
3. Forest Habitat: As keystone species, bees and elephants help maintain the health of the local ecosystem. The beehive fence prevents encroachment onto wild habitat and incentivises forest protection.
4. Wildlife Corridors: Our community coexistence projects expand into the protection of crucial elephant migratory routes, of which only three remain in Northern Tanzania  (from nine corridors historically). We implement alternative fuel solutions to support families with biogas - utilising cow manure and green waste as a natural fuel source, to prevent tree felling within the corridor. Our wildlife education workshops will focus on safety in the corridor, and elephant behaviour, particularly for school children who must cross this elephant habitat to reach schools and basic medical supplies. 
5. Elephant monitoring: Our field team of Bee Guardians not only install and maintain the beehive fences, but also work with our Data & Research Coordinator to collect crucial data on crop-raiding incidences, bee colony health, crop yields, and elephant movements. Through a combination of camera traps and our farmer communication network, we monitor and evaluate the efficacy of the beehive fence, and the movement patterns of the elephants from the forest through to the corridor and surrounding areas.
