The Oncilla team has been taking action for coexistence with farmers in Heradura and San Gerardo. Currently, they are working on a project to provide chicken coops for rural families. This month the final selection of the farms participating in the project was made, and their properties were visited. This is one of many ways in which CRWF acts for coexistence and prioritizes the wellbeing of communities impacted by conflict with wildlife.
“In the chicken coops project, we have observed the relationships that women have with chicken ownership. The women and their chickens have taught us that to understand the ecology of a territory, we must learn its culture, since each tree that grows and each animal that breathes is the product of a historical relationship between people and their landscapes”.
