Good governance is essential for the sustainable growth of Randilen Wildlife Management Area (WMA). Effective leadership, transparency, and accountability ensure that tourism revenues are managed efficiently, benefiting both conservation efforts and local communities. Strong governance structures help in decision-making, equitable distribution of resources, and the enforcement of policies that protect wildlife and natural habitats. By fostering community participation and fair representation, Randilen WMA can enhance trust among stakeholders, attract more investment, and promote long-term sustainability. Ultimately, good governance ensures that conservation and development go hand in hand, securing a prosperous future for both people and nature.

To preserve natural resources, artificial intelligence must be introduced to preserve them, and automation must be used to preserve environmental diversity by linking to the use of the Internet today, which is everywhere, controlling it, and following up. It was made into a real reserve and controlled using connected surveillance cameras. Transporting animals to a safe environment protected by surveillance cameras to reduce poaching.

The workshop to validate the agreement on access to the PNC as part of the worship of sacred sites was attended by a number of players, including the prefectural authorities, GIZ, the villages bordering the Bouna and Nassian sectors, and local radio stations. The DZNE and its partner GIZ/Pro2GRN coordinated the event perfectly.

The first stage focused on carrying out a study to identify cult sites in the PNC and surrounding villages. OIPR's North-East Zone Management plans to revive ecotourism in the Comoé National Park (PNC). To this end, a strategy has been defined to promote the traditional practices of local residents for tourism purposes. Taking into account the history of the creation of the PNC, it is known that it inherited sacred sites in the interior for which little information is available. With this in mind, a study by the Institut National Polytechnique Félix Houphouët Boigny entitled "Contribution des pratiques socio-culturelles à la relance de l'écotourisme au Parc national de la Comoé" (Contribution of socio-cultural practices to the revival of ecotourism in the Comoé National Park) was initiated, with the aim of gathering information on cultural sites and attractions that could contribute to the revival of ecotourism in the CNP.

Due to their location near forests that protect water sources and public and private reserves, many agricultural productions are vulnerable to human-wildlife conflicts (HWCs). This vulnerability, combined with a lack or inadequacy of farm planning and the prevalence of outdated livestock management practices, puts at risk productivity in these mountain systems, biodiversity conservation, water resources, and associated ecosystem services

We include renewable energy technologies such us solar panels  to power electic fences, improve livestoc water availability and sensored lights to mitigate economical loses in livestoc farms caused by predation over domestic animales, at the same time, we help rural farmer families to access electricity serveces and improve their food productivity, economicla and food founts

According to IUCN guidelines for coexistence with wildlife, educational approaches are more effective when focused on promoting behavioral change towards wildlife. This can be achieved through well-designed processes targeting key stakeholder groups and addressing specific actions—such as the killing of jaguars or their potential prey, or the implementation of changes in production systems—within a defined time frame.

This approach is grounded in the Theory of Planned Behavior, which posits that human actions are influenced by intentions, which in turn are shaped by attitudes, subjective (or social) norms, and perceived behavioral control.

Our objective is to develop educational strategies for jaguar conservation that focus on these three key determinants of human behavior. In this way, we aim not only to ensure structural but also functional connectivity for the jaguar by promoting a culture of coexistence with other forms of life

We develop wildcats and potential prey community based monitoring with the families associated with Serraniagua in their private natural reserves by employing a small set of five trap cameras.

Both the expansion of agricultural systems and the declaration of new public and private protected areas contribute to the intensification of HWCs. In this context, the development of regional plans that address territory-specific problems and contexts, and integrate all relevant stakeholders, will enable a preventive,comprehensive and sustainable management of human–jaguar interactions, improving quality of life for both people and jaguars

When the Ministry of the Environment was seeking the designation of the Amami Archipelago as a national park for the purpose of registration as the World Heritage site, it proposed two management concepts, “Ecosystem Management Type” and “Nature/Environmental Culture Type,” with the support of Kagoshima University, which had launched the Kagoshima Environmental Studies Project, a public-private collaboration aimed at solving environmental problems in the region. The “Ecosystem Management Type” concept aims to preserve the area as a registered World Natural Heritage site, while the “Nature/Environmental Culture Type” concept supports cultural value by providing visitors with a chance to experience the history and culture of people who have lived in harmony with nature in the area, and have skillfully used and passed it on to future generations. The purpose of Japan's national parks is to protect natural scenic areas, promote their use, and contribute to conservation of biodiversity. “Amamigunto National Park” was the first national park to propose the concept of an Nature/Eenvironmental Culture Type” national park that focuses on the nature and culture of the region. The term “Amamigunto” means “the Amami Archipelago”.

The Ministry of the Environment and Kagoshima University conducted an interview survey, as an attempt, in collaboration with local residents in the satoyama area of Amami, a candidate area for a national park, to visualize the language and spirit that represent the culture of the islanders and how they live using nature, and to understand the local nature/environmental culture that has coexisted with nature. Through many workshops and symposiums, including web-based workshops, the results of the survey were shared with local residents and people from Amami living in the city, and through understanding the uniqueness and value of the local environmental culture, the awareness that nature/environmental culture has the potential to strengthen community identity and seed independent economic development in the region spread. This awareness has continued to spread.

What is Environmental Culture?
The concept of environmental culture is closely related to the nature-culture linkage.
In Kagoshima, this concept has been in use since around 1990, and more recently, it has been defined as: “The general consciousness, lifestyle, and production style that local people have formed and acquired while interacting with nature and influencing each other."

Example 1) The topography and geology of the “high island” and “low island” of the Amami archipelago determined the amount of water in rivers and groundwater, which in turn determined how the islanders obtained water for daily use and firewood. On the “high island,” waterwheel-powered sugar manufacturing flourished, taking advantage of the abundance of water in the rivers. The “low islands” had difficulty securing firewood due to the lack of well-developed forests, and trade developed to obtain firewood from neighboring islands, promoting cultural exchange. These “high” and “low” islands have strongly influenced the islanders' culture and awareness of the importance of resources. At the same time, this culture and awareness has influenced the islanders' approach to nature and has defined the natural environment of the islands.

Example 2)  The awareness of the forbidden by the yokai Kenmun in the island's folklore has become a means of appropriate control of natural resources and coexistence with nature.　The “yokai” is closely English word for “ghost” or “supernatural creature”.
 

In the context of fisheries and aquaculture, the fish trap represents an evolution of existing harvesting methods. Unlike active fishing gear, such as seines, the fish traps require less labor and energy, which makes them very efficient in terms of catch effort. In addition, the fish traps do not physically harm the caught fish, so the fish can be taken out of the trap alive and in good health. Early experiments on partial harvests in aquaculture in Malawi date back to the 1990s, when different tools for intermittent harvest were tested. However, due to the inefficiency and labor-intensity of the methods, there has been no broad application or further developments.

Based on this knowledge, further literature research, and expert discussions, the idea was born to build and test a size-selective fish trap to regularly harvest the juveniles of the initial fish stock. This innovation is thought to control the stocking density, to optimize the use of supplementary feeds, and to not exceed the carrying capacity of the pond. Ideally, a successful application of the fish trap would result in households increasing their overall aquaculture productivity, whilst harvesting small quantities of small fish much more regularly than has been customary in aquaculture to date. The intermittently harvested fish can be consumed within the household or used to generate small amounts of regular income. Meanwhile, the initial fish stock (parent fish) will be grown to a larger size for the final harvest.
