Borehole Post Repair Meeting & Discussion
The Nsefu Wildlife team members repaired the local watering borehole that had recently trapped a baby elephant. We fortunately were able to rescue the baby elephant, read the full story HERE!
We're hoping to raise funds to help with drilling a second borehole for the village and leave the older borehole for wildlife.
The older watering borehole, which is one kilometer from the village, would be dug out more so that wildlife can more easily access it. This action will help to reduce human-elephant conflict.
We would like to come to an official agreement with the village soon, so that we can begin drilling the borehole as soon as the funds are available. In return for the new borehole, we're going to require that the villagers report any suspicious poacher activity and also not to obtain water from the older borehole, so animals can access it without conflict.
