The Chake Conservancy is assisting farmers with security lighting installations to
deter nocturnal attacks from wildlife.
We install lights on community homesteads off-grid where domestic animals sleep
so that they scare off lions, leopards and hyenas from invading the homestead and
killing domestic animals. These lights are automated and they turn on by themselves
when sunlight levels drop at sundown and temperatures indicate nightfall. When it
reaches 6pm in the evening they come on automatically and at six in the morning
they go off.
This has been found to be very effective in scaring off lions, hyenas and leopards.
They have kept elephants away too.
We have installed15 lights in our
conservancy so far.
Our target is to have 1842 lights installed
in our area.
Each light installation costs US $350.
Lion lovers have assisted in raising funds
and we seek more donor partners to help us
reach our goal.
Chake has an ongoing GOFUNDME campaign that welcomes donations.
