Paper doi abstract bibtex Since 2014, Botswana's Okavango Delta has been declared a UNESCO World Heritage site. One effect has been to parse the conservation area from human settlements, thus aggravating the conflict between local cattle farmers and predatory animals, particularly lions. In response, the LionAlert system, launched together with CLAWS Conservancy, is warning farmers of lions passing invisible digital geofences and thus helps prevent attacks on cattle as well as the poaching of the endangered predators. Because technology needs to be embedded in a larger, holistic view of the conflict parties’ practices, needs and abilities, we apply the Matristic Design approach focusing on cooperation on the ground which bears matriarchal roots. Here, we outline how we implemented this approach in the LionAlert project, while building a tech-based alert system to mitigate Human-Wildlife-Conflict (HWC), and what can be done to further enhance human-wildlife coexistence: access to technology, education, and support of traditional farming practices.
