Lion conservation has recently become a global issue when statistics revealed that lion numbers have reduced to between 16,000 and 45,000. There has been a species population reduction of 30%-50% over the past 2 decades. This reduction is largely due to habitat loss and conflict with humans.
This website has been designed for my PhD, which I am doing at the University of Oxford, focusing on the lions of the Ewaso ecosystem in Northern Kenya. The project follows on to the work I carried out for my Masters degree (MSc) research in 2003. I am currently working in Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves and West Gate Community Conservancy.
Feel free to explore this website to find out more about the Ewaso lions and how you can help safeguard their future. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Thanks,
Shivani
