A Big Cat Deterrent System!

Human-Wildlife Conflict Management Avoidance

One of the greatest threats to predators in the wild is human-wildlife conflict. For example, over 90 % of cheetahs live outside protected management areas, alongside human communities raising cows, sheep, and goats. The loss of even a single animal can be devastating to poor farmers, and predators are seen not as a valuable component of a thriving ecosystem, but as a threat to their livelihoods.

Light For Life was founded by Kenyan David Mascall; his low-impact, home-grown and inexpensive solution saves lions, leopards and livestock. Rather than paying ranchers after their cattle have been killed by lions, hyenas and leopards, David employs an easy-to-assemble, inexpensive flashing LED light system around cattle pens (bomas) in Kenya to stop predators from killing goats and cows.
