Forecast-based action for conservation: Developing early-warnings of human-elephant conflict
Published on

Climate change and associated extreme weather events are threatening biodiversity, but existing conservation strategies have limitations. Advances in meteorological forecasting and innovation from the humanitarian sector provide a possible solution – forecast-based action (FbA). FbA provides a framework by which ecological and meteorological forecasts may be routinely translated into early conservation action, improving preparedness and minimising the impacts of extreme weather on biodiversity. Here, I will draw on learnings from the humanitarian sector to suggest how FbA might be applied in practice, specifically, to mitigate the impacts of human-elephant conflict in Kenya.
