Making the 1st payments for the Conservation Incentive Payments pilot in Misigiyo Ward

Having counted and verified all observations of lion presence in the two administrative wards of Misigyo and Ngorongoro betweenย October – January, we held the first ceremonies to announce how much the villages have earned during the period. Each of the 6 villages earned the maximum amount that has been set for lion presence in their areas – 3 million shillings each and thereforeย a total of 18 million shillings. While we continue to count the next 4 months of lions we’re interested to hear from the villages how the funds will be utilized. We’d like to thank all the communities who agreed to take part in this groundbreaking pilot project,ย the NCA Authority for their support, and the Lion Recovery Fund who never gave up on their belief that we could make thisย happen.
