KopeLion News
Tanzaniaβs Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) is a critical site for lion which are classified as βVulnerableβ on the IUCN red list.
Noongoile has been seen in the company of two males: Laipangwa from Ndutu andΒ Titan Jr, one of the Crater's Lake Quintet coalition.
Ndolok Kitiliya lives in the most incredibly beautiful, but dry, Nasera area and is the Regional Coordinator for the Ilchokuti across to and including Ndutu.
After some years of following Nosikitok and her pride in Ndutu, her collar dropped off as per schedule in December, and we needed to find a new lion to follow.
Having counted and verified all observations of lion presence in the two administrative wards of Misigyo and Ngorongoro betweenΒ October - January, we held the first ceremonies to announce how much the villages have earned during the period.
Thanks to the NCA Authority for providing us with their 'wooden house' and to Ndutu Lodge for their support in refurbishment, KopeLion has a new office and staff bedrooms.
