TRACEABLE BEEF FOR CLIMATE AND CONSERVATION

CLEANER PRODUCTION AND PRIVATE SECTOR PARTNERSHIPS

THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS (NGP) ARE ONE OF ONLY FOUR REMAINING LARGELY INTACT TEMPERATE GRASSLANDS IN THE WORLD. THE NGP HAS CHANGED DRAMATICALLY WITH THE CONVERSION OF 44 MILLION ACRES TO LARGELY PERMANENT AND SEMI-PERMANENT CROPLAND AGRICULTURE. THE CONVERSION OCCURRED AT AN AVERAGE RATE OF 500,000 ACRES OF GRASS PER YEAR, 2015 TO 2020 (USDA, NASS, WWF PLOWPRINT 2022 REPORT). WITHIN THE ECOREGION, CONVERSION CONTINUES TO OCCUR DUE TO HIGH CROP PRICES, GOVERNMENT INCENTIVES AND A GROWING GLOBAL HUMAN POPULATION. THIS LEADS TO LOSS OF HABITAT AND THREATENS THE ABILITY OF THE LAND TO PROVIDE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES, SUCH AS CARBON SEQUESTRATION AND STORAGE, BIODIVERSITY, WATER FILTRATION AND REDUCED EROSION. GRASS-BASED ECONOMIES ARE A CRITICAL COMPONENT OF COMBATING GRASSLANDS CONVERSION BY MAINTAINING INTACT GRASSLANDS AND THE ECOSYSTEM SERVICES THEY PROVIDE. MUCH OF THE INTACT GRASSLANDS IN THE NGP, AND THE ASSOCIATED LIVELIHOODS OF ITS OWNERS AND OPERATORS, ARE SUPPORTED THROUGH RANCHING. SUSTAINABLE GRAZING MANAGEMENT FACILITATES THE COEXISTENCE OF LIVESTOCK WITH NATIVE WILDLIFE, PROMOTES VEGETATION PRODUCTIVITY, ENSURES HEALTHY ROOT AND MICROBIAL SYSTEMS, AND PROTECTS SOIL FROM EROSION. RANCHERS USE GRAZING MANAGEMENT PLANS TO MANAGE GRASSLANDS WHILE ALSO MANAGING EMISSIONS, PROMOTING CARBON SEQUESTRATION, AND IMPROVING SOIL HEALTH AND WATER INFILTRATION. TO FURTHER PROMOTE SUSTAINABLE RANCHING IN THE NGP, WWFS SUSTAINABLE RANCHING INITIATIVE (SRI) LAUNCHED THE RANCH SYSTEMS AND VIABILITY PLANNING (RSVP) NETWORK IN 2021. BY ENROLLING THEIR RANCH INTO RSVP AND AGREEING TO NON-CONVERSION, RANCHERS GAIN ACCESS TO FINANCIAL AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO SUPPORT GRAZING PLANNING, RANCH INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT, ECOLOGICAL MONITORING, AND CONTINUING EDUCATION. THROUGH RSVP, WWF IS ESTABLISHING A COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR RANCHERS TO DEVELOP SUSTAINABLE GRAZING MANAGEMENT PLANS WITH ASSISTANCE FROM ON-THE-GROUND TECHNICAL SPECIALISTS AND TO ACCESS CONTINUING EDUCATION TO IMPROVE ECOLOGICAL OUTCOMES AT SCALE IN THE NGP.THIS PROJECT WILL JOIN WWF AND USFWS IN THEIR SHARED GOAL OF SUPPORTING THE INTEGRITY OF WORKING LANDS ACROSS THE SAGEBRUSH HABITATS OF THE NGP IN MONTANA. THIS WILL INCLUDE WORK ACROSS PRIORITY GRASSLAND AND SAGEBRUSH HABITAT CORES, WORKING DIRECTLY WITH RANCHES ENROLLED IN RSVP TO CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS POPULATION AND HABITAT OBJECTIVES FOR FEDERAL TRUST RESOURCES FOUND IN THE AREA. WE WILL DELIVER GRASSLAND RESTORATION (RESEEDING) TO AT LEAST 2,000 ACRES OF MARGINAL CROPLAND ADJACENT TO INTACT GRASSLAND CORES. WE WILL ALSO IMPROVE RANCH INFRASTRUCTURE, IMPROVE DROUGHT RESILIENCE OF OPERATIONS, AND PROMOTE MANAGED GRAZING SYSTEMS ON APPROXIMATELY 100,000 ACRES OF PRIVATE LAND IN SAGEBRUSH CORES TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL AND ECOLOGICAL BENEFITS. THIS PROJECT WILL DIRECTLY ADDRESS THE THREAT OF LAND CONVERSION BY MAINTAINING RESTORED AREAS AND INTACT RANCHES IN GRASSLAND SAGEBRUSH COVER FOR A MINIMUM OF 10 YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, WWF AND USFWS WILL COLLECT BIRD OCCUPANCY, SOIL CARBON, AND VEGETATION DIVERSITY DATA ON PARTICIPATING RANCHES TO ASSIST PARTNERS IN BOTH INDIVIDUAL AND COLLECTIVE UNDERSTANDING OF THE IMPACTS OF GRAZING MANAGEMENT ON A VARIETY OF ECOLOGICAL INDICATORS.

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO STABILIZE A HEALTHY ASIAN ELEPHANT POPULATION IN DAK LAK PROVINCE, VIET NAM, WHICH IS A CRITICAL HOTSPOT FOR ASIAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION. ACCORDING TO THE LATEST REPORT FROM THE GENERAL DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY, ONLY ABOUT 75-130 INDIVIDUALS REMAIN IN THE WILD, PRIMARILY DISTRIBUTED ALONG THE BORDERS OF VIET NAM WITH LAOS AND CAMBODIA. WITH THIS DWINDLING BUT VITAL POPULATION, THE CONSERVATION OF ELEPHANTS IN THIS AREA IS A KEY PRIORITY FOR THE VIET NAM GOVERNMENT AND WWF.THE EASTERN PLAIN LANDSCAPE (EPL) IN VIET NAM HOUSES THE LARGEST ELEPHANT POPULATION, WITH 60-70 INDIVIDUALS LIVING WITHIN YOK DON NATIONAL PARK (YDNP). THIS PARK IS LOCATED IN DAK LAK PROVINCE AND IS THE SECOND LARGEST PROTECTED AREA IN THE COUNTRY. THE ELEPHANTS IN YDNP ACCOUNT FOR 70-75% OF THE WILD ELEPHANT POPULATION IN VIET NAM. BUT THESE POPULATIONS ARE AT RISK FROM FACTORS SUCH AS HABITAT LOSS AND DEGRADATION AND HUMAN-ELEPHANT CONFLICT (HEC). THE MIXED DECIDUOUS DIPTEROCARP AND SEMI-EVERGREEN FOREST IN YDNP THAT ARE A SOURCE OF FOOD FOR ELEPHANTS HAVE DECLINED AND YDNPS NATURAL WATERHOLES DRY UP DURING THE DRY SEASON. DUE TO LACK OF FOOD AND WATER SOURCES DURING THIS PERIOD, WILD ELEPHANTS OFTEN MOVE INTO NEIGHBORING VILLAGES, WHICH LEADS TO HEC. AS SUCH, HEC STANDS AS ONE OF THE FOREMOST THREATS TO THE SURVIVAL OF ELEPHANTS IN VIET NAM. TWENTY-SIX ELEPHANTS HAVE BEEN FOUND DEAD IN DAK LAKS FORESTS BETWEEN 2009 AND 2017, AND THE CAUSES OF THESE DEATHS ARE, AS YET, UNKNOWN BUT ARE SUSPECTED TO BE A RESULT OF HEC, HERBICIDE POISONING, OR POTENTIAL NATURAL CAUSES. THERE IS A NEED TO SUPPORT THE GOVERNMENT TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ROOT-CAUSES FOR THESE DEATHS AND DEVELOP A MITIGATION STRATEGY. THERE ARE ALSO GAPS IN KNOWLEDGE ON MOVEMENT PATTERNS THAT DO NOT ALLOW FOR INFORMED CONSERVATION DECISION MAKING. CHANGES IN MOVEMENT PATTERNS MAY BE DUE TO A VARIETY OF REASONS, AND UNDERSTANDING DETAILED MOVEMENT PATTERNS WILL BE ESSENTIAL FOR IDENTIFYING AND PROTECTING APPROPRIATE HABITAT CORRIDORS, KEY HABITAT AREAS, AND MANAGING HEC.BUILDING ON PAST CONSERVATION PROGRAMS IN YDNP, WWF-US, WWF-VIET NAM, AND THE DAK LAK ELEPHANT CONSERVATION CENTER (DECC) WILL LEAD A SERIES OF ACTIVITIES TO STABILIZE THE ELEPHANT POPULATION IN DAK LAK PROVINCE THROUGH BETTER UNDERSTANDING ELEPHANT POPULATION DYNAMICS, IMPROVING COEXISTENCE WITH COMMUNITIES, AND HABITAT PROTECTION. PROPOSED ACTIVITIES UNDER OBJECTIVE 1 INCLUDE GPS-COLLARING AND TRACKING DATA ANALYSIS, CAMERA TRAPPING FOR MONITORING, AND IDENTIFYING THE ROOT CAUSES OF ELEPHANT DEATH TO PREVENT POPULATION DECLINE, ALL TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THE ELEPHANT POPULATION STATUS IN DAK LAK PROVINCE. ACTIVITIES UNDER OBJECTIVE 2 INCLUDE ADAPTING THE HEC STRATEGY AND SUPPORTING IMPLEMENTATION USING THE C2C: CONFLICT TO COEXISTENCE APPROACH, STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT THROUGH COMMUNITY-BASED RESPONSE TEAMS, AND RAISING AWARENESS OF HEC THROUGH COMMUNICATIONS CAMPAIGNS, ALL TO IMPROVE HEC MANAGEMENT AND MINIMIZE THE IMPACTS ON LOCAL COMMUNITIES. FINALLY, ACTIVITIES UNDER OBJECTIVE 3 INCLUDE IMPROVING HABITAT QUALITY TO MEET ELEPHANT RESOURCE NEEDS, ENHANCING EFFORTS TO PROTECT ELEPHANT HABITAT IN KEY CORRIDORS TO ENABLE MOVEMENT, AND STRENGTHENING TRANSBOUNDARY COLLABORATION BETWEEN PROVINCES IN VIET NAM AND CAMBODIA, ALL TO ENSURE A STABLE HABITAT FOR THE PERPETUATION OF A HEALTHY ELEPHANT POPULATION. THIS PROJECT WILL, OVERALL, HELP BUILD A SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM ELEPHANT CONSERVATION PROGRAM IN DAK LAK PROVINCE.

THE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW MEXICO, NEW MEXICO STATE UNIVERSITY, THE NEW MEXICO INTERSTATE STREAM COMMISSION, AND THE MIDDLE RIO GRANDE CONSERVANCY DISTRICT, WILL ANALYZE THE POTENTIAL FOR REPLACING INVASIVE, EXOTIC RIPARIAN VEGETATION SPECIES (TAMARISK AND RUSSIAN OLIVE) WITH NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITIES AS A STRATEGY FOR REDUCING WATER CONSUMED BY EVAPOTRANSPIRATION. PROJECT PARTNERS WILL COLLABORATE TO MAP EXTANT STANDS OF EXOTIC VEGETATION, ESTIMATE POTENTIAL WATER SAVINGS THROUGH REPLACEMENT WITH NATIVE SPECIES, AND PRIORITIZE STANDS FOR RESTORATION USING DECISION SUPPORT TOOLS BASED ON A SUITE OF ECOSYSTEM AND WATER-SAVING BENEFITS. THE PROJECT WILL HELP THE STATE OF NEW MEXICO MEET ITS WATER DELIVERY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE RIO GRANDE COMPACT WHILE ENHANCING RIVER FLOWS FOR ECOSYSTEM BENEFITS AND INCREASING WATER SUPPLY RELIABILITY FOR FARMING,

WWF???S SMART GEAR INITIATIVE

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO SUPPORT AN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION EFFORT IN THE KAVANGO ZAMBEZI TRANSFRONTIER CONSERVATION AREA (KAZA TFCA) BY STRENGTHENING BIOLOGICAL MONITORING. THE KAZA TFCA SAVANNA ELEPHANT STRONGHOLD IS HOME TO APPROXIMATELY 192,500 ELEPHANTS, REPRESENTING MORE THAN HALF OF THE REMAINING SAVANNA ELEPHANTS. THIS PROJECT IS INTENDED TO CONSERVE AFRICAN SAVANNA ELEPHANTS AND THEIR HABITAT BY ADDRESSING THE IMPACTS OF EXISTING ELEPHANT POPULATION RESEARCH GAPS AND SUPPORTING EVIDENCE-BASED DECISION MAKING BY CONSERVATION MANAGERS. SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES INCLUDE: (1) PLANNING AND EXECUTING AN ACCURATE, SYNCHRONIZED AERIAL SURVEY OF ELEPHANTS IN THE KAZA TFCA.

THE WESTERN PACIFIC LEATHERBACK SUBPOPULATION HAS DECREASED BY MORE THAN 78% AND IS DECLINING BY 6% EACH YEAR. IN THE WATERS OFF THE KEI ISLANDS, INDONESIA, LEATHERBACK SEA TURTLES CONGREGATE TO FORAGE ON LARGE AGGREGATIONS OF JELLYFISH WHERE ELEVEN VILLAGES HUNT AND CONSUME LEATHERBACK SEA TURTLES. IN 2017, WWF DOCUMENTED 104 LEATHERBACKS TAKEN IN THIS HUNT. THIS LEVEL OF LEATHERBACK TAKE EXCEEDS TRADITIONAL LEVELS AND LIKELY CONTRIBUTES TO THE DECLINE OF THEIR POPULATION. OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS WWF HAS WORKED TO DEVELOP A MULTI-LAYER STRATEGY AIMED AT REDUCING THE ONGOING LEATHERBACK HUNT THAT HAS RESULTED IN: 1) THE FORMATION OF A ROBUST REGIONAL MONITORING PROGRAM, AND 2) BROAD OUTREACH EFFORTS THAT HAVE REDUCED LEATHERBACK TAKE FROM A HIGH OF 104 IN 2017 BY AN AVERAGE OF 85% IN RECENT YEARS. CONTINUED COLLABORATIONS WITH INDONESIAN, GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS, VILLAGE COUNCILS AND THE KEI-KECIL MARINE PROTECTED AREA PROVIDE A PATHWAY TO SOLIDIFY THESE EARLY CONSE

DESPITE DEDICATED EFFORTS BY THE U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE (USFWS) AND RECOVERY PARTNERS, RECENT ESTIMATES SUGGEST THAT BLACK-FOOTED FERRET (MUSTELA NIGRIPES) POPULATIONS REMAIN FAR BELOW FEDERAL RECOVERY CRITERIA. THIS POPULATION DEFICIENCY IS LARGELY THE RESULT OF CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH COMBATING THE DEADLY IMPACTS OF SYLVATIC PLAGUE AND LIMITATIONS OF SURVEY METHODS USED TO ASSIGN TIME-SENSITIVE MANAGEMENT. RECOVERY OF THIS ENDANGERED SPECIES REQUIRES ANNUAL MONITORING AND PROTECTION OF BOTH BLACK-FOOTED FERRETS AND THEIR PRAIRIE DOG (CYNOMYS SPP.) PREY FROM PLAGUE WITHIN RECOVERY SITES. CURRENTLY, LESS THAN 20% OF ACTIVE PRAIRIE DOGS COLONIES OCCUPIED BY BLACK-FOOTED FERRETS ARE PROTECTED FROM PLAGUE ANNUALLY DUE TO THE SUBSTANTIAL COST. WE PROPOSE TO ADDRESS THESE CHALLENGES AND ACHIEVE A SERIES OF PRIORITY ACTIONS DESCRIBED IN THE USFWS RECOVERY PLAN2 BY APPLYING INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES TO ADVANCE COST-EFFECTIVE PROTECTION AND DETECTION OF BLACK-FOOTED FERRETS AT REINTRODUCTION SITES THROUGHOUT THEIR HISTORICAL RANGE.THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO CULTIVATE ADDITIONAL PLAGUE PROTECTION TECHNIQUES AND BLACK-FOOTED FERRET DETECTION METHODS TO IMPROVE SURVIVAL AND ANNUAL ESTIMATES OF WILD POPULATIONS. DURING THE JULY 1, 2024 - JUNE 30, 2026 PROJECT PERIOD, WE WILL:(1) BUILD TEN OR MORE FUNCTIONAL ALL-TERRAIN VEHICLE DELIVERY DEVICES CAPABLE OF DELIVERING PLAGUE PROTECTIVE BAITS TO PRAIRIE DOGS AT BLACK-FOOTED FERRET REINTRODUCTION SITES.(2) ANALYZE AND IMPROVE EXISTING BLACK-FOOTED FERRET SURVEY METHODOLOGY TO MAXIMIZE BLACK-FOOTED FERRET DETECTION.(3) PRODUCE AND DELIVER AN EFFECTIVE AND COST-EFFICIENT PLAGUE PREVENTION TOOL FIPBITS TO CONTROL FLEAS ON PRAIRIE DOGS.(4) ANALYZE EXISTING BLACK-FOOTED FERRET SPOTLIGHTING SURVEY METHODOLOGY.(5) DEVELOP RECOMMENDATIONS TO MAXIMIZE BLACK-FOOTED FERRET SPOTLIGHTING SURVEY EFFORTS.(6) COMPARE RESULTS OF SURVEYS CONDUCTED WITH THERMAL CAMERAS TO SPOTLIGHTING SURVEYS.(7) PROMOTE THE USE OF THERMAL CAMERAS.(8) DEVELOP A METHOD FOR INTEGRATING THERMAL-CAMERA TECHNOLOGIES INTO BLACK-FOOTED FERRET SURVEYS, ALONG WITH A GUIDE TO PROTOCOLS, ANALYSIS, AND DATA INTERPRETATION. SPECIFIC DELIVERABLES INCLUDE: TEN FUNCTIONAL ATV TRIPLE-SHOOTERS. ONE UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLE WITH A FUNCTIONAL TRIPLE-SHOOTER SYSTEM. 500,000 FIPBITS DISTRIBUTED AT FIVE OR MORE BLACK-FOOTED FERRET SITES. DATABASE OF BLACK-FOOTED FERRET ENCOUNTER HISTORIES FROM FOUR OR MORE BLACK-FOOTED FERRET SITES. EVALUATION OF STATISTICAL TECHNIQUES MEASURING DETECTION RATES, CATCH-PER-UNIT EFFORT, ABUNDANCE ESTIMATES, POWER ANALYSES, ETC.

VIRUNGA MOUNTAIN GORILLA INITIATIVE

THE PURPOSE OF WWF'S PROPOSED PROJECT "PROMOTING HUMAN-JAGUAR COEXISTENCE IN THE MAYA FOREST OF MEXICO" IS TO HELP SECURED THE FUTURE OF THE JAGUAR IN MEXICO'S MAYA FOREST IN THE YUCATAN PENINSULA, ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT JAGUAR STRONGHOLDS IN THE AMERICAS. THE JAGUAR IS SERIOUSLY THREATENED; IT HAS LOST HALF ITS RANGE AND ITS POPULATION IS DECLINING. IN RESPONSE, WWF HAS DEVELOPED A JAGUAR STRATEGY IDENTIFYING THE SITES THAT COLLECTIVELY CAN SECURE THE FUTURE OF THIS ICONIC PREDATOR. THE SPECIES IS UNDER THREAT DUE TO LOSS AND DEGRADATION OF HABITAT AND INTENTIONAL KILLINGS. JAGUARS ARE KILLED FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS; FOR TRADE OF THEIR PARTS, IN RETALIATION FOR DEPREDATIONS OF LIVESTOCK AND BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE AFRAID OF THEM. IN MEXICO'S MAYA FOREST, THERE ARE MANY SMALL-SCALE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS WHO RAISE SHEEP AND TO A LESSER DEGREE, CATTLE. LIVESTOCK GRAZING IN JAGUAR CORRIDORS CONNECTING PROTECTED AREAS ARE VULNERABLE TO PREDATION BY JAGUARS. THE LIVESTOCK OWNERS SOMETIMES RESPOND BY KILLING JAGUARS. THIS PROJECT WILL IDENTIFY PRODUCERS MOST AFFECTED BY JAGUAR PREDATION AND HELP THEM PROTECT THEIR LIVESTOCK. WE WILL DO THIS BY ENCLOSING THE LIVESTOCK PASTURES WITH FENCES, INSTALLING SYSTEMS OF LIGHTS TO WARD OFF PREDATORS, AND PROVIDING WATER SOURCES FOR JAGUARS AND THEIR PREY, SEPARATE FROM THE WATER SOURCES FOR LIVESTOCK. ANOTHER ISSUE THAT IS LEADING JAGUARS TO PREY ON LIVESTOCK IS A PAUCITY OF PREY, WHICH IS TIED TO INCREASING DROUGHT CONDITIONS. THE POPULATIONS OF PREY SPECIES ARE DECLINING BECAUSE THEIR WATER SOURCES DRY UP DURING WHAT HAVE BECOME LONGER DROUGHT PERIODS, AS DOES THE VEGETATION ON WHICH THEY SUBSIST. THE PROJECT WILL CREATE WATER SOURCES AND PLANT HIGH-PROTEIN STANDS OF NATIVE VEGETATION FOR THE PREY SPECIES TO HELP THEM SURVIVE TIMES OF DROUGHT. THESE MEASURES WILL PROVIDE ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO LANDOWNERS IN THE FORM OF REDUCED LOSS OF LIVESTOCK. WE WILL ALSO HELP LANDOWNERS INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF THEIR LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF TARGETED PRACTICES. FOR EXAMPLE, WE WILL HELP THEM PLANT STANDS OF HIGH-PROTEIN NATIVE CROPS WITHIN THEIR ENCLOSED PASTURES. OUR EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER FARMS IN THE REGION SHOWS THAT THESE MEASURES CAN SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE PRODUCTIVITY OF LIVESTOCK OPERATIONS. AS LANDOWNERS HEAR FROM EACH OTHER ABOUT THE BENEFITS OF THESE PRACTICES, WE EXPECT THAT THEY WILL INCREASINGLY ADOPT THEM. AS A RESULT, JAGUAR DEPREDATIONS WILL DECLINE, AS WILL RETALIATORY KILLINGS. AN ADDITIONAL BENEFIT FOR JAGUARS IS THAT THE INTENSIFICATION OF RANCHING WITHIN LIVESTOCK ENCLOSURES WILL REDUCE THE NEED TO EXPAND LIVESTOCK GRAZING BY CONVERTING FORESTS INTO PASTURE LANDS, THUS LEAVING MORE JAGUAR HABITAT INTACT. THE BENEFICIARIES OF THE PROJECT WILL BE THE SMALL-SCALE LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS. WE WILL WORK WITH 15 OF THEM DIRECTLY IN THIS PROJECT. SUBRECIPIENTS OF THE PROJECT WILL INCLUDE TWO ORGANIZATIONS. THE FIRST IS FUND FOR PEACE (ENGLISH TRANSLATION), WHICH HAS BEEN WORKING IN THE MAYA FOREST FOR MORE THAN A DECADE WITH LOCAL COMMUNITIES. THEY WILL HELP LIVESTOCK PRODUCERS ADOPT PRACTICES TO INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY AND REDUCE PREDATIONS BY JAGUARS. THE SECOND IS NATURAL AREAS AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT (ENGLISH TRANSLATION), WHICH FOCUSES ON RECOVERY AND MANAGEMENT OF AT-RISK SPECIES IN MEXICO. IT WILL WORK WITH LANDOWNERS ON MANAGEMENT OF WILDLIFE TO ENSURE A STABLE LEVEL OF JAGUAR PREY, CAPACITY BUILDING WITH LOCAL PRODUCERS IN SPECIALIZED MANAGEMENT AND WILL IMPLEMENT 12 DEMONSTRATIVE PLOTS. THE DELIVERABLES OF THE PROJECT INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING: ON THE PROPERTIES OF PARTICIPATING SMALL-SCALE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCERS, THE NUMBER OF LIVESTOCK KILLED BY JAGUARS WILL BE REDUCED BY 80% AND LIVESTOCK PRODUCTIVITY WILL BE INCREASED BY 15%. THERE WILL BE NO DECLINE IN POPULATIONS OF JAGUARS OR THEIR PREY IN THE ADJACENT FOREST LANDS, AND THE TOLERANCE OF PARTICIPATING LANDOWNERS OF JAGUARS WILL INCREASE.

FY2018 GREAT APE CONSERVATION FUND

THE NORTHERN GREAT PLAINS NGP HAVE CHANGED DRAMATICALLY WITH THE CONVERSION OF 44 MILLION ACRES TO LARGELY PERMANENT AND SEMIPERMANENT CROPLAND AGRICULTURE. THE CONVERSION OCCURRED AT AN AVERAGE RATE OF 500000 ACRES OF GRASS PER YEAR 20152020 USDA NASS WWF PLOWPRINT 2022 REPORT. THIS CONVERSION HAS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTED WILDLIFE BUT THIS CONTEXT HAS ALSO IMPACTED RURAL AND NATIVE COMMUNITIES AND THE WAYS IN WHICH LAND MANAGERS OPERATE. BECAUSE MORE THAN 70% OF THE INTACT LAND IN THE NGP IS PRIVATELY AND INDIGENOUSLY OWNED THE BEST APPROACH FOR WORLD WILDLIFE FUND WWF TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN CONSERVING GRASSLANDS IS TO WORK WITH THE OWNERS AND CARETAKERS OF THE LAND RANCHERS AND NATIVE NATIONS TO IMPLEMENT ENDURING CONSERVATION SOLUTIONS THAT RECOVER OR SUSTAIN LIVELIHOODS WHILE MAINTAINING INTACT GRASSLANDS AND WILDLIFE HABITAT.OVER THE PAST DECADE WORLD WILDLIFE FUND WWF HAS PARTNERED WITH NATIVE NATIONS BRINGING OVER 8 MILLION IN INVESTMENT TO SUPPORT THEIR GOALS TO RESTORE BISON FOR THE BENEFIT OF THEIR PEOPLE THE LAND AND THE WILDLIFE. HOWEVER DEEP STRATEGIC INVESTMENT REMAINS NECESSARY TO ACHIEVE THE VISIONS OF NATIVE NATIONS FOR BISON. TO ADDRESS THIS CONSERVATION GOAL IN MONTANA WWF IS WORKING WITH A LONGTIME PARTNER AND A LEADER IN TRIBAL BISON RESTORATION SINCE THE 1970S FORT BELKNAP INDIAN COMMUNITY FBIC IN NORTH CENTRAL MONTANA TO RESTORE GRASSLANDS AND EXPAND BISON HABITAT. COLLABORATING ON THIS PROJECT WILL SUPPORT FBIC TO ACHIEVE THEIR GOAL OF SUSTAINABLE MANAGEMENT OF THEIR HERD AND EXPANSION OF THE LAND DEDICATED TO BISON.INITIAL FUNDING WILL SUPPORT THE CONSTRUCTION OF 7 MILES OF WILDLIFEFRIENDLY BISON FENCE THAT WILL EVENTUALLY ADD 5462 ACRES OF INTACT GRASSLAND TO THE GRAZING HABITAT AVAILABLE FOR BISON ON THE SNAKE BUTTE BUFFALO PASTURE AT FBIC. OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS THIS PROJECT WILL WORK WITH FBIC TO RESTORE CROPLAND TO NATIVE GRASSLAND AND ENHANCE NATIVE PASTURES TO SUPPORT GROWTH OF AND GOOD STEWARDSHIP BY THE FBIC BUFFALO PROGRAM. IF SUCCESSFUL APPROXIMATELY 10000 ACRES OF CROPLAND WILL BE SEEDED BACK TO NATIVE GRASSLAND AND INCLUDED IN THE BUFFALO PROGRAM. IN ADDITION FENCE AND WATER INFRASTRUCTURE TO IMPROVE GRAZING MANAGEMENT WILL BE INSTALLED ON THOSE SEEDED ACRES AS WELL AS AN ADDITIONAL 7000 ACRES OF CURRENTLY IDLE PASTURE.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS PROJECT IS TO (1) INTEGRATE AN ID-BASED RHINO MONITORING SYSTEM WITH THE SMART (SPATIAL MONITORING AND REPORTING TOOL) PATROLLING SYSTEM, DNA SAMPLING, AND BUILD INSTITUTIONAL CAPACITY FOR IMPROVED MONITORING; (2) DEVELOP A PLAN FOR INTERNAL TRANSLOCATION OF RHINOS FROM HIGHLY CONCENTRATED AREAS TO SPARSELY POPULATED AREAS OF THE PARK; AND (3) ADDRESS THE CONCERN ABOUT AN ASSESSMENT OF WATER QUALITY IN WETLANDS USED BY RHINOS AND PROVIDE MANAGEMENT GUIDELINES OF THESE WETLANDS.

THE ASIAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION FUND SOLICITS PROJECT PROPOSALS FOR THE CONSERVATION OF THE ASIAN ELEPHANT (ELEPHAS MAXIMUS) THROUGHOUT ITS RANGE. IN 1997, WITH AWARENESS OF THE INCREASING THREAT TO THE WELFARE OF THE ALREADY ENDANGERED ASIAN ELEPHANT, THE ASIAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION ACT WAS SIGNED INTO LAW. THE ACT PROVIDES FOR THE CONSERVATION OF ASIAN ELEPHANTS BY SUPPORTING CONSERVATION PROGRAMS IN COUNTRIES WITHIN THE RANGE OF ASIAN ELEPHANTS, AND THE PROJECTS OF PERSONS WITH DEMONSTRATED EXPERTISE IN THE CONSERVATION OF ASIAN ELEPHANTS. THE ASIAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION FUND RECOGNIZES THE COMMON GOALS AND PRIORITIES OF THE 13 ASIAN ELEPHANT RANGE STATE GOVERNMENTS AS STATED IN THE JAKARTA DECLARATION FOR ASIAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION AND SUPPORTS PROJECTS THAT PROMOTE CONSERVATION OF ASIAN ELEPHANTS AND THEIR HABITATS THROUGH: APPLIED RESEARCH ON ELEPHANT POPULATIONS AND THEIR HABITATS, INCLUDING SURVEYS AND MONITORING; ACTIVITIES THAT RESULT IN FEWER WILD ELEPHANTS BEING REMOVED FROM THE WILD, REDUCE DEMAND IN CONSUMER COUNTRIES FOR IVORY AND OTHER BODY PARTS, AND PREVENT ILLEGAL KILLING OF ELEPHANTS; DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTION OF ELEPHANT CONSERVATION MANAGEMENT PLANS; COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE TREATIES AND LAWS THAT PROHIBIT OR REGULATE THE TAKING OR TRADE OF ELEPHANTS OR REGULATE THE USE AND MANAGEMENT OF ELEPHANT HABITAT; CONSERVATION EDUCATION AND COMMUNITY OUTREACH; ENHANCED PROTECTION OF AT-RISK ELEPHANT POPULATIONS; EFFORTS TO DECREASE HUMAN-ELEPHANT CONFLICT; HABITAT CONSERVATION AND MANAGEMENT, INCLUDING IMPROVED PROTECTED AREA MANAGEMENT IN IMPORTANT ELEPHANT RANGES; STRENGTHENING LOCAL CAPACITY TO IMPLEMENT CONSERVATION PROGRAMS; TRANSFRONTIER ELEPHANT CONSERVATION; AND WILDLIFE INSPECTION, LAW ENFORCEMENT, AND FORENSICS SKILLS. SUPPORT WILL ALSO BE GIVEN TO PROJECTS THAT ENHANCE THE KNOWLEDGE OF DECISION MAKERS AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS. THESE INCLUDE LEGISLATORS, TEACHERS, SCHOOL CHILDREN, JOURNALISTS, TOURISTS, NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS, AND PRIVATE SECTOR ORGANIZATIONS OR BUSINESSES IN ORDER TO STRENGTHEN THEIR ABILITY TO POSITIVELY INFLUENCE WILDLIFE CONSERVATION, MANAGEMENT, LEGISLATION, POLICY, AND FINANCE; AND TO HARMONIZE THESE WITH OTHER NATIONAL POLICIES. PROPOSED PROJECT SHOULD OCCUR WITHIN THE RANGE OF THE ASIAN ELEPHANT, OR, IF WORK IS TO BE CONDUCTED OUTSIDE OF THE RANGE, THE PROPOSAL SHOULD SHOW A CLEAR RELEVANCE TO ASIAN ELEPHANT CONSERVATION. APPLIED RESEARCH PROJECTS SHOULD ADDRESS SPECIFIC MANAGEMENT NEEDS AND ACTIONS, AND THREATS FROM EMERGING ISSUES SUCH AS DISEASE OR POACHING THAT AFFECT THE SPECIES AND ITS HABITATS.
