H.el.p. (human Elephant Peace) Is an Educational Outreach Strategy Focused on Human-elephant Conflict (HEC) Mitigation That Has Been Successfully Implemented Over the Last Four Years in Myanmar, Reaching Over 100,000 Villagers. the Strategy Employs National Television Broadcasts, Village Lectures, and Audiovisual Support Kits to Empower Villagers to Coexist Safely With Wild Elephants. Building on a Previously Funded and Successful FWS Project on Temporary Electric Elephant Exclusion Fences, This Project Will Adapt the H.el.p. Educational Strategy to Train Villagers and Forest Department Officers on How to Safely Implement and Maintain Seasonal Electric Fencing to Exclude Wild Elephants From Actively Cultivated Crop Fields and Remove Them After the Harvest Season. This Three-year Project Will Create and Train an Education and Monitoring Team to Demonstrate and Implement Seasonal Fencing Techniques With Villagers and Help Authorities Develop Management, Education, and Monitoring Mechanisms for Their Long-term Sustainability. Audiovisual and Print Content Will Be Created for Broadcast on National Television and Used in Community Workshops. This Project Will Develop the Administrative and Logistical Framework Necessary to Transfer This Promising Hec Mitigation Technique Regionally
