    2022 Wrap

    It's #GivingTuesday today, and after a whirlwind of a year for KopeLion, we'd like to say thanks for all the support that we've received from everyone, our donors, supporters, our hardworking team, the authorities we work closely with, the Ngorongoro community, and those who say, 'well done', 'sorry' or simply listen.

Tanzania is one of the most important countries for the lion’s long-term survival. It has about one-third of the world’s lions, and 3/5 of the remaining large extensive populations (of >2,000 lions each). #Ngorongoro#Communityconservation#Ngorongorocrater#Ngorongoroconservationarea#Lionconservation#Humanwildlifecoexistence#Ngorongorodistrict#Corridoroftolerance ...

An increase in tolerance within pastoralist communities has enabled lions to disperse between the hubs of the Crater and Ndutu. The engagement of the Ngorongoro people to create a ‘corridor of tolerance’ between the crater and the Serengeti, has yielded considerable success and we have seen an average increase of 8% per year in lion observations, since 2017, in areas occupied by people.📸 @breathenaturemia #Ngorongoro#Communityconservation#ngorongorocrater #Ngorongoroconservationarea#Lionconservation#Humanwildlifecoexistence#Ngorongorodistrict#CorridoroftoleranceIUCN Save Our Species @iucnsos EU_Partnership Lion Recovery Fund ...

Our new expansion into Kakesio Ward, increasing lion connectivity through a new corridor of tolerance, is proving useful. Here Julius reports immaculately his lion observations through the month of April. On the file, you can see the name of the lion, the gender, the GPS coordinates and whether the lion was spotted/identified thanks to telemetry, tracks found, hair left behind or visually.#Ngorongoro#Communityconservation#Ngorongorcrater#Ngorongoroconservationarea#Lionconservation#Humanwildlifecoexistence#Ngorongoro@iucnsos #CorridoroftoleranceIUCN Save Our Species @iucnsos ...
