π¨New research on Ugandaβs largest carnivore survey in @ELSenviron GECCO! https://t.co/tq1iPKr0dT π¦26,000 km driven, 232 camera sites show lions in decline in Kidepo and QE, but hope in Murchison (240 π¦). Hyenas faring well, leopards strong in Murchison & Mburo. Our work brings together >100 collaborators, 47 authors, and 20 NGOs together across six protected areas.
Apart from 3 days in Etosha NP (everybody needs a holiday π), the entire dispersal phase was outside of protected areas - highlighting the remarkable ability of large carnivores to move through anthropogenic landscapes!

2) Beytell et al. documented multiple long-range dispersal events of large carnivores in northern Namibia! π³π¦π¦
Included in these records was a #spottedhyaena that spent 254 days in a dispersal phase, covering 5000+ km! π€―

Excited to see this out! This paper started off as a presentation at the @imidibaniso_sc Eco-Communications Symposium in 2022 and itβs been a long journey to its final formβ¦
Thank you to special issue editors Mehita Iqani and Meghan Judge π

Verschueren et al. conducted a mammal survey in the Ondjou Conservancy in Namibia, an understudied area in the KAZA TCA. Analysing 317,758 camera-trap images, they identified 18 carnivore species, finding occurrence increased further from the main village: https://t.co/0z1QwIwOCy
