🦁 Lebutiama’s Journey 🦁After wandering into community areas outside the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA), we partnered with the NCAA to safely return him to the NCA. With funding from the Safina Foundation, we collared him to track his movements and reduce human-lion conflict.For the past 30 days, he has roamed peacefully in Oldeani Mountain. Recently, he moved closer to Misigiyo village, where our Ilchokuti, Loserian, and Lazaro, closely monitor him to ensure his safety.This map highlights his movements, reflecting the delicate balance between protecting lions and supporting coexistence.#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #creatingconversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater #lions #conservation #tanzania ...
