Environmental Education and Training are important tools in conservation.
Training courses and production / dissemination of educational materials are
important parts of the work of Pró-Carnívoros.
Courses are held periodically in order to provide training in research and
conservation of carnivores and specific training for technicians responsible for
attending instances of predation on livestock by carnivores.
As background material for these courses we have developed the " Manual de
Identificação, Prevenção e Controle de Predação por Carnívoros " which is
published in partnership with CENAP / IBAMA.
Pró-Carnívoros also produces material aimed at farmers, including the booklet "
Carnívoros Silvestres e Proprietários Rurais - vamos melhorar este
relacionamento?", which provides an introduction to the problem of predation and
suggests measures to protect domestic animals and reduce human wildlife
conflicts. It is freely available but supplies are limited. It can be obtained
by sending a short explanatory memorandum for the request (motives and use) by
e-mail to
procranivoros@procarnivoros.org.br
The freely distributed comic “Toinzinho the Jaguar” is directed at children.
Through a simple plot, it approaches the topic of “problem jaguars” in rural
properties. It is part of the series “Toizinho” Published by LAKE (11) 227-1396
