The forum took place in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe.The forum focused on reducing conflict and unlocking the value of living alongside lions. Ololotu shared stories from our work in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, where community-led programs like the Ilchokuti help people and lions live together.A big thank you to @wildnetorg , @lionrecovery and Maliasili for creating this important space for learning and connection.As Ololotu shared, โ€œThe Lion Footprint Forum was a powerful platform that enabled us to connect directly with diverse partners across the lion conservation space. These conversations opened up new possibilities for collaboration and knowledge exchange, which are essential to scale our shared impact.โ€#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #creatingconservations#lionconservation #ngorongorolion #corridoroftolerance#ngorongorocrater #kopelion #ngorongooroconservationarea ...

We highlighted the importance of protecting wildlife while keeping local livelihoods strong, a key part of KopeLionโ€™s mission.Alongside powerful storytelling and talks from youth leaders, this yearโ€™s festival included hands on sessions on soap making, community savings groups, veterinary services, family planning, mental health and lion conservation.At its heart, the festival is about empowerment. Giving young people the knowledge, skills and confidence to become leaders in their communities and protectors of their environment.#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #creatingconservations #lionconservation #ngorongorolion #corridoroftolerance#ngorongorocrater #kopelion #ngorongooroconservationarea ...
