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.

🐝 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗸𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 🐝Last month, we had the privilege of hosting a beekeeping training session in collaboration with Northern Tanzania Beekeeping Company from Ololosokwan (Loliondo). Community members were eager to learn about sustainable beekeeping practices and the potential for entrepreneurship in Ngorongoro.From classroom learning to hands-on experience, the participants were highly engaged—especially when discovering the most productive bee hives! We’re excited to see how this training will open new opportunities for local communities and strengthen conservation efforts. 🌍Lion Recovery Fund PAW Foundation Lincoln Park Zoo #communityconservation #humanwildlifecoexistence #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #creatingconversations #coexistence #ngorongorolions #ngorongorodistrict #livingwithlions #ngorongoroconservationarea #lionconservation #lions #beekeeping #conservation #kopelion ...

Bessy enjoys a sundowner in Ndutu with her four cubs, now 3.5 months old. 🦁🌅 As part of the Masek Pride, Bessy plays a key role in nurturing the next generation of lions.Lion cubs typically stay with their mother for about 2 to 3 years. During this time, the mother teaches them essential survival skills, such as hunting and navigating the pride's territory. Around the age of 2, male cubs usually leave the pride to form their own or join a bachelor group, while females may stay with the pride if it’s large enough to support them.We aim to keep scenes like this thriving in the wild through ongoing collaboration and conservation efforts.📸: Roimen LelyaLion Recovery Fund Lincoln Park Zoo PAW Foundation Ndutu Safari Lodge #humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #creatingconversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater #lions #conservation #tanzania ...

Last week, a meeting was held with some of the Ilchokuti from Esere, one of the areas we work in. 🗺️ The goal was to improve strategies for monitoring lions and mitigating conflicts arising from their presence. The Ilchokuti developed a plan to better coordinate with others outside their zones, making their work more efficient. This year, we've seen more lions in this area than in recent years, largely due to higher birth rates and greater community tolerance. Together, we're making strides in lion conservation and coexistence. 🐾 🦁#humanwildlifecoexistence #communityconservation #coexistence #livingwithlions #CreatingConversations #lionconservation #ngorongorolions #corridortoftolerance #ngorongoro #ngorongoroconservationarea #kopelion #ngorongorocrater #lions #conservation #tanzania ...
