SUMMARY:Stakeholders’ Workshop on Environment and Human Wildlife Conflict (HWC) in the Greater Maasai Mara Ecosystem (GMME)
DESCRIPTION:Human–Wildlife Conflicts (HWC) have emerged as one of the most pressing challenges in biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. \nEngagement with stakeholders—ranging from local communities and conservation practitioners to policymakers and non-governmental organizations—alongside scientists\, offers a pathway for refining HWC models into robust\, contextually grounded tools. Stakeholders contribute invaluable experiential knowledge\, perceptions of risk\, and insights into socio-economic realities\, while scientists bring methodological rigor\, ecological expertise\, and analytical innovations. Such co-production of knowledge ensures that models are not only scientifically credible but also socially legitimate and operationally relevant (Reed et al.\, 2014). Moreover\, participatory model development fosters trust\, ownership\, and adaptive capacity\, thereby increasing the likelihood of sustained implementation of conflict mitigation measures. \nEvent Programme follow the link or scan the qr code below; \nhttps://www.mmarau.ac.ke/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GMME_Modeling_Programme_Prof_Cedric_Oct_2025_Final1.pdf
