Giving poachers a way to escape the cycle of crime and punishment by reskilling them in alternative livelihoods.
This 17-year-old program engages communities with a high prevalence of poaching and instead of arresting them, we break the cycle by giving them the opportunity to transform their lives by surrendering their wire snares and firearms in exchange for training in carpentry, masonry, beekeeping, and conservation agriculture, among other alternative livelihood skills COMACO imparts.
Thanks to our donors, KFW for supporting this initiative under the TFCA project.
