Support a Farmer

Wildlife Connection is fundraising to build beehive fences for individual farmers who typically experience heavy crop losses due to elephant crop raiding.  You can help protect the crops, and livelihood, of the farmer profiled below by sponsoring the construction of a beehive fence around their farm.  Each beehive you sponsor will increase the farmer’s income potential through the sale of honey, and the reduced human elephant conflict will help promote the long-term co-existence of people and elephants in Tanzania.  Helping farmers co-exist more peacefully with elephants creates support for elephant conservation among local people, which is a fundamental step toward protecting them from poaching.  Each Kenyan Top Bar beehive and the associated fencing materials cost $40.  The number of beehives necessary to enclose each farm varies according to its size, and the degree to which some portion of the farm may already be surrounded by natural barriers.  Please see below for the total number of beehives necessary to help this particular farmer, and to read about the thank you gifts you can expect for your donation.  Thank you!
