Summary[edit]

Description September 2017. John Besigivekye (shown) and John Tibehaho both grew up living near and relying on the forest. Besigivekye was a gold miner and later a farmer. Tibehaho was always a farmer. Both also appreciate and can articulate the value of the protected park and charismatic gorillas for the cash and livelihood support they bring the community. But they disagree on one of the most fundamental questions in #conservation: The carrot or the stick? Tibehaho has worked with the park service and in conservation education and feels the rules, or more specifically, the consequences, are too harsh. That if people understand the connections he does, they will also value the resource. Besigivekye also works actively and as a volunteer to reduce human-wildlife conflict but believes rules are rules and the resource is so valuable that people should follow them or pay the price. It's complicated and for two hours they went back and forth. Anecdotes and experiences and passion. Bottom line? It's most important that they care - and they both do. With conviction.
