COMMUNITY ASSISTANCE<br />
Poaching occurs if communities are poor and in conflict with wildlife<br />
Below depicts the typical lifestyle of African villagers with farms of cattle & crops. But, wildlife constantly wander through<br />
their farms eating their crops and/or cattle. The IAPF responds to this human-wildlife conflict by offering game ranger training<br />
for a job, free education to villagers on bee hices, chill farms and Jason gardens. Look at each drawing from A to Q. H. Fill in the<br />

POSITIVE INTERACTIONS<br />
In the African savanna are farmers which usually<br />
interact positively with their environment. Village life<br />
is tough dealing with dry soil, wildlife and government<br />
corruption. The farmers counter this by growing crops<br />
such as maize, raise cattle or goats to use and sell produce<br />
at the local markets for money.<br />

The infrastructure of their houses are basic because the<br />
people living there are very poor and make a subsistence<br />
income. Their houses are made from dung mixed with mud,<br />
wood, and sometimes coke cans or bottles placed through the<br />
mud walls to act as insulation for warmth and light. They also<br />
use plastic bottles filled with water pushed through roofs<br />
to give light for the huts. The village houses are huddled<br />
together for security from the wildlife.<br />

chilli fences and bee hives which wildlife fear,<br />
patrol areas for wildlife & poachers, help<br />
villagers sell any excess chilli & honey at<br />
the local markets, give free education in game ranger training, skills<br />
