Ndolok Kitiliya

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. In the dry season there is plenty of conflict in this area and Ndolok is always busy. He’s highly valued for his skills at treating wounded livestock (he treats the most animals almost every month!), at coaching new Ilchokuti in literacy and the complicated task of filling in the monthly datasheets, and for his strategic thinking and intelligent insights.

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 ...
