Co-designing Predator-proof Corrals

One of the interventions under the GRAZIER initiative focuses on the mitigation of wildlife-induced losses for pastoral communities, identified as a priority area through multiple consultation meetings.

Wildlife-induced losses pose a significant threat to the wellbeing of pastoral communities and jeopardise their traditional livelihoods. Predator-proof corrals are an effective non-lethal strategy to reduce livestock losses and promote coexistence with large carnivores. By minimising livestock losses, corrals can indirectly support wool-based livelihoods and strengthen the manure supply chain while also reducing perceived risks from predators and improving attitudes toward them over time. 

 

In 2025, the project team, along with community members from Kargyam, co-designed corrals in Chibra village. The initiative is planned to be scaled up to other villages in Kargyam in the coming years.
