WRF ASSEMBLES AND SUPPORTS, WITH NEUTRAL FACILITATION AND WRITTEN RESOURCES, PARTNERSHIPS BETWEEN AZA-ACCREDITED ZOOS/AQUARIUMS AND PARKS. WRF ALSO CONVENES DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS IN WORKSHOPS THAT HELP SOLVE CONSERVATION PROBLEMS. NORTH AMERICAN BISON SUMMIT: THE NORTH AMERICAN BISON SUMMIT (NABS) COORDINATES A CROSS-BORDER, MULTI-SECTORAL INITIATIVE BRINGING TOGETHER CONSERVATIONISTS, TRIBES, FIRST NATIONS, AND FAMILY RANCHERS ACROSS CANADA, MEXICO, AND THE UNITED STATES. THE PROGRAM'S MISSION IS TO CONSERVE NORTH AMERICA'S BISON POPULATIONS, RESTORE VITAL GRASSLAND ECOSYSTEMS, AND PROTECT TRADITIONAL RANCHING LIVELIHOODS FROM DEVELOPMENT PRESSURES. THROUGH COLLABORATIVE NETWORKING, NABS DEVELOPS SHARED MODELS AND TOOLS TO ADVANCE WHOLE-HERD HEALTH, GENETIC VARIABILITY, AND DISEASE MITIGATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE SUMMIT ACTIVELY SUPPORTS TRIBAL FOOD SOVEREIGNTY AND BUFFALO CULTURE REVITALIZATION, WHILE PROMOTING THE ECOLOGICAL AND CLIMATE-RESILIENCE BENEFITS OF MANAGED GRAZERS. 6561 102307 IMOFOLOZI PROJECT: THE DEFENDING A SOUTH AFRICAN WILDERNESS FROM WILDLIFE CRIME PROJECT, OR "THE IMFOLOZI PROJECT," IS A COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVE LED BY THE WILDLIFE RESTORATION FOUNDATION (WRF) AND THE WILDERNESS LEADERSHIP SCHOOL (WLS) TO PROTECT WILDLIFE IN HLUHLUWE-IMFOLOZI PROVINCIAL PARK (HIP) IN SOUTH AFRICA AND YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (YNP) IN THE US. THE PROJECT AIMS TO COMBAT SOPHISTICATED POACHING THREATS IN THESE ICONIC PARKS, WHICH ARE HOME TO CRITICAL POPULATIONS OF ENDANGERED SPECIES.HIP, LOCATED IN KWAZULU-NATAL PROVINCE, HARBORS ABOUT HALF OF SOUTH AFRICA'S WILD RHINOS (1,500-1,800), WHILE YNP IS CRUCIAL FOR CONSERVING BISON, GRIZZLY BEARS, AND WOLVES. HOWEVER, PROVINCIAL PARKS' CAPACITY TO FIGHT POACHING HAS DIMINISHED DUE TO BUDGET CONSTRAINTS, STAFF REDUCTIONS, AND PANDEMIC-RELATED CHALLENGES. THE PROJECT LEVERAGES WLS GUIDES' ADVANCED OUTDOOR SKILLS TO SUPPLEMENT ANTI-POACHING EFFORTS. THESE GUIDES HAVE TRANSITIONED INTO ANTI-POACHING UNIT ASSISTANTS, ENHANCING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF EZEMVELO KZN WILDLIFE (EKZNW) ANTI-POACHING UNITS (APUS). WLS HAS ALSO ESTABLISHED RHINO AND BIO-MONITORING PATROLS (RBMPS) AND COMMUNITY TRAILS TO IMPROVE SURVEILLANCE AND ENGAGE LOCAL RESIDENTS. 39920 X 40608 I AM BEAR SAFE: IABS IS A UNIQUELY EFFECTIVE METHODOLOGY GAINING THE BUY-IN AND TRUST OF SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE GATEWAY COMMUNITIES OF YELLOWSTONE AND GLACIER NATIONAL PARKS TO DELIVER BEAR SAFETY INSTRUCTION TO TOURISTS AND LOCAL RECREATIONISTS AT KEY POINTS OF INTERVENTION.
