Bessy enjoys a sundowner in Ndutu with her four cubs, now 3.5 months old. ๐Ÿฆ๐ŸŒ… As part of the Masek Pride, Bessy plays a key role in nurturing the next generation of lions.Lion cubs typically stay with their mother for about 2 to 3 years. During this time, the mother teaches them essential survival skills, such as hunting and navigating the pride's territory. Around the age of 2, male cubs usually leave the pride to form their own or join a bachelor group, while females may stay with the pride if itโ€™s large enough to support them.We aim to keep scenes like this thriving in the wild through ongoing collaboration and conservation efforts.๐Ÿ“ธ: Roimen LelyaLion Recovery Fund Lincoln Park Zoo PAW Foundation Ndutu Safari Lodge #humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #creatingconversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater #lions #conservation #tanzania ...

Last week, a meeting was held with some of the Ilchokuti from Esere, one of the areas we work in. ๐Ÿ—บ๏ธ The goal was to improve strategies for monitoring lions and mitigating conflicts arising from their presence. The Ilchokuti developed a plan to better coordinate with others outside their zones, making their work more efficient. This year, we've seen more lions in this area than in recent years, largely due to higher birth rates and greater community tolerance. Together, we're making strides in lion conservation and coexistence. ๐Ÿพ ๐Ÿฆ#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #CreatingConversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater #lions #conservation #tanzania ...
