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 between 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 therefore 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, the NCA Authority for their support, and the Lion Recovery Fund who never gave up on their belief that we could make this happen.

It takes a team!Early warning of lion presence using GPS collars is such an important tool for supporting pastoralist communities in Ngorongoro to live with lions. The Ngorongoro lion research team together with Dr Wambura from NCAA and KopeLion Ilchokuti yesterday succeeded in collaring Lemiko (8yr old male) and LK124 (7 yr old female), both of whom originate from the crater but who have settled, with their pride, in the Esere plains.Emmanuel Lufilisha (Research Assistant) has been watching them for some months and his patience finally paid off.
