RCP 2016 Digital Overview

WildCRU’s Ruaha Carnivore Project has come a long way since its inception in 2009, when we had a team of 3 in tiny tents, and had no trust with the local community, who were killing lions very frequently. Since then, we have developed multiple programmes to reduce conflict by reducing livestock losses, providing real benefits to local people through wildlife, and conducting extensive outreach and education. We have also produced the first scientific studies of Ruaha’s carnivores to inform conservation planning. We now have very good community relations, have seen a large drop in carnivore killings, and are looking to expand our work further in Ruaha and beyond over the next 5 years. None of this would have been possible without all our supporters and friends, so we thank you all very much! Thanks also to Jack Randall from Made in the Wild Made in the Wild who has produced a short overview of what we had accomplished as of the end of 2016.
