About
Background
We recognized the need for conservation organizations to consider the behavioral aspect of animals when designing strategies, especially in terms of human-wildlife conflict. BehEco was thus established to spearhead the idea of including animal behavior in management strategies.
At BehEco, we believe that understanding animal behavior is crucial for the development of effective conservation and management strategies that promote human-wildlife coexistence. Our team of experts has extensive experience in conducting non-invasive research on animal behavior and using this knowledge to develop sustainable conservation and management strategies.
We partner with local communities, academic institutions, and government agencies to promote the conservation of wildlife species and their habitats. Our activities include research, conservation and management, training, and public outreach. Our research projects are designed to understand the behavior of wildlife species and how this behavior affects their interaction with humans and their environment.
We have established successful partnerships with various organizations to promote human-wildlife coexistence and conservation. Through our efforts, we have made significant contributions to the field of animal behavior research and its application in conservation and management.
Our vision is a world where humans and wildlife coexist in harmony, and our mission is to use non-invasive research methods to study animal behavior and promote sustainable conservation and management strategies. At BehEco, we are committed to achieving this vision and mission through our research, partnerships, and public outreach activities.
Our Mission
BehEco's mission is to advance the understanding of animal behavior through non-invasive research methods, and to use this knowledge to promote human-wildlife coexistence and contribute to the conservation of wildlife and their habitats, with a particular focus on Africa.
Objectives
To conduct high-quality, non-invasive research on animal behavior, using innovative and ethical methods
To promote the integration of animal behavior research into policies, conservation strategies, and conflict management efforts, to ensure that they are based on a more comprehensive understanding of wildlife behavior and needs.
To collaborate with local communities, organizations, and governments to develop and implement effective conservation and management strategies that promote human-wildlife coexistence and sustainable development.
To train and mentor the next generation of conservation leaders, by providing opportunities for hands-on learning and research experience.
To raise awareness and educate the public about the importance of animal behavior research, and the role it plays in promoting human-wildlife coexistence and conservation.
We invite you to join us in our efforts to promote human-wildlife coexistence and conservation.
