This is the second of two volumes: a trainer’s manual (see further information) and a participant’s manual.<br /><br />The course consists of five modules each including an introductory presentation, trainer presentations, group discussions and activities. Activities include measuring crop fields and damage areas, constructing mitigation measures, conducting practice interviews and how to use a range of Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) techniques.<br /><br />Modules include: <br /> What is human elephant conflict and whose responsibility is it? Elephant behaviour and ecology in conflict situations Mitigation Measures used in HEC The importance of recording, reportingand analysis of problem incidents Developing community based HEC mitigation The participant’s manual provides all the background and technical information to be covered by the course.
