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.

One big male lion was spotted by Silo and Balasi, KopeLion's Barabaig Ilchokuti, who work in the area between Lake Eyasi and the highlands of Ngorongoro. While lions are rarely seen in this area of deep valleys and escarpments, their skills in tracking enable us to better understand the movements of lions across the Ngorongoro landscapes.#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #CreatingConversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater ...

With 11 new cubs born to the Twin Hill pride in Ndutu and the dry season approaching, Roimen and Dr. Wambura set out to replace the collar on one of the prominent pride sisters. Her collar had been failing, and while we managed to track her through the group's handsome male, we needed to ensure her visibility over the next few months to prevent conflicts with pastoralists and their livestock.The surrounding pride remained undisturbed, showcasing Dr. Wambura's expertise at darting and how well the team manages the collaring process.Photos by: Roimen Lelya#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #CreatingConversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater ...

Kope Lion
We are excited to see the young male lion we collared late last year, along with his coalition buddies, thriving and roaming far and wide like the nomads they are meant to be. This group disappeared into Serengeti National Park for many months, spending time around Naabi Hill during the migration. They have now crossed back into the Ngorongoro Conservation Area and are currently moving between Ndutu and the highlands. Their movements are a testament to KopeLion's 'Corridor of Tolerance', and we hope they will contribute to our ongoing efforts to increase connectivity between the lions in the Ngorongoro Crater and the Greater Serengeti Ecosystem.Photos: Roimen Lelya#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #CreatingConversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater ...
