IN HARMONY WITH NATURE HELPING BOTH HUMANS AND ELEPHANTS Environmental education: Living in Harmony with Nature Human-wildlife conflict is becoming an issue on account of the growing population in the region and in the areas bordering Ngorongoro and Tarangire National Parks. The Living in Harmony with Nature project is designed to educate secondary school pupils aged 14 to 20 in the Simanjiro District on the importance of a sensible and sustainable approach to animal welfare and wildlife conservation. Since 2017, more than 500 secondary school pupils at three schools have been educated using descriptive and illustrative reading material and environment days have also been organised in the neighbouring Tarangire National Park. And we won’t take our eye off the ball as the local population will only grasp the importance of wildlife conservation if they are provided with proper insight and their own livelihood is safeguarded. For a peaceful coexistence Protecting sensitive areas of nature and reconciling the needs of humans and animals are at the heart of what the DER Touristik Foundation does. A prime example of what this looks like in practice can be found in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area in the north of Tanzania. This region which borders the Serengeti is home to the semi-nomadic Maasai pastoralists who practice agriculture and keep livestock. As the areas where the Maasai live overlap with the territories of wild animals, there are constant conflicts – which the DER Touristik Foundation helps to defuse through simple measures. A prime example is the use of fences coated in chilli paste for defining elephant corridors as these have been hugely successful. Impressively, the chilli fences keep the pachyderms at bay as their highly developed olfactory organ is extremely sensitive. 14
