Kope Lion is at Ngorongoro Crater.

Kope Lion
In March, we collared Larmasi-A in the Crater highlands. Since then, he has been making more and more visits into the Ngorongoro Crater, fascinating attempt at dispersal that we’re closely monitoring.This video shows his movements and highlights just how important it is to follow these lions’ paths as they navigate complex landscapes and social dynamics.As Ingela writes, “While I’m sharing this with you, I’m actually sitting just 15 meters away from Larmasi himself, hidden in thickets, completely invisible except for the booming signals from his collar revealing his presence.”Every movement tells a story. Thank you for following along as we work to secure a future where lions and people can coexist.#kopelion #ngorongoro #lionconservation #humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #livingwithlions #ngorongorolions #coexistence #ngorongoroconservationarea #ngorongorocrater ...

In the Ngorongoro, these strong maternal connections are vital for survival, guiding each new generation to navigate challenges and grow into future leaders.At KopeLion, we work to protect these family groups, supporting coexistence so that cubs like this one can look forward to a wild future.Happy #caturday 🦁 ...
