Kope Lion
Today marks the final day of the 2025 Lion Survey. Since April we have been using a range of methods to estimate lion numbers and density across the landscape. One of these methods is the use of camera traps, especially in remote areas that are difficult to access with a vehicle.We placed cameras at twelve stations and are now beginning the process of collecting them and reviewing the footage.
