The project seeks to assist the Community-based conservancy in the semi-desert northwestern Namibia in the Kunune Region to address the longstanding conflcit between desert-dwelling elephants and the livestock farmers. The conflict revolves around water.

Elepant populations have grown as result of conservnation efforts by government, NGOs and local communties. This leads to competetion for scarce water resources between livestock and domestic use on one side, and elephants on the other. In this process, elephants damage water instalations, kill livestock and occassionally take human lives leading to a lot of inconvenience to livestock famring communities.

The project seeks to build specially tailor-made "elephants only" drinking places away household waterpoints. This will reduce interaction between human, their livestock and elephants.
