Dr Lovemore Sibanda

Overseas

I attained my doctorate at the University of Oxford in 2020, my doctoral thesis evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based intervention programme in mitigating conflict between humans and lions in northwestern Zimbabwe. I am fascinated by a lot of things and my research interests span a wide range of topics, from carnivore conservation to human-wildlife conflict.

Currently, I am a postdoctoral research fellow with the Morally Contested Conservation (MCC)  Research Group led by Dr. Darragh Hare. My role in this project, amongst other things, is to assist research students with fieldwork design, data collection, and analysis.
