Predator-proof bomas reduce livestock attacks, revolutionizing human-carnivore co-existence.
Livestock depredation is a big problem for farmers and wildlife in Maasai Mara Conservancies in Kenya. A study looked at how predator-proof bomas can help reduce livestock attacks. They found that most attacks happen during the day, with lions being the main culprits in the fields. Hyenas are bolder and attack livestock inside traditional kraals. Predator-proof bomas are better at protecting livestock from carnivores, making them a good solution for co-existing with wildlife.
