BRAVO: Barrier Removal Assessment and Viability Overview A tool for assessing the feasibility and impact potential of Rare project plans GUAM WATERSHED CAMPAIGN- Deer Bait & Hunter Training Cultural/Political Impact & Metrics Technical Economics
What: To aid with minimizing and addressing the threat of poachers illegally burning the natural vegetation of Guam’s watersheds in order to attract deer, deer bait and training will be provided to local hunters. Local sustainable sources will be identified working with local farmers. Hunting themed events will be held to illustrate use of baiting stations and to showcase and reward sustainable hunting practices and to educate about the destructiveness of fire. Stewardship groups will also be created to start watershed restoration efforts in these villages. Who:The Bureau of Statistics & Plans, Guam Coastal Management Program , in close partnership with the Game Management sector of Division of Aquatic and Wildlife resources and their Law Enforcement Division (conservation officers) will work together to provide these tools and trainings for hunters. Southern village communities will monitor the effectiveness of the barrier removal (and concurrent watershed restoration through social marketing campaign) at reducing wildland fires and sedimentation. When:The training and education component of the project can begin in mid 2010 with the acquisition of the needed stations and development and implementation of hunter training programs. Use of bait stations will commence at the beginning of the legal hunting season (September 2010) towards the end of the Rare Pride Campaign. After the first season ends, use of bait can be assessed and modified as needed to meet the needs of the hunters in various areas of Guam. How: The aforementioned agencies will work together to pool and source funding for the bait and training. Monitoring will be done by National Park Service and community watershed groups (established in Pride campaign). BRAVO: Executive Summary BRAVO Scores Feasibility Score: 3.2 Impact Score: 3.1
