Proud to see our GPS collars playing a vital role in lion conservation in Queen Elizabeth National Park.
@STL_tracking, we’re honored to contribute to these vital conservation efforts, ensuring a brighter future for Uganda’s lions.
@UgandaCF @ugwildlife @EarthRangerTech

[UgandaCF @UgandaCF]

Our field team, working alongside Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) @ugwildlife team, has completed another lion collaring operation in Queen Elizabeth National Park. Each lion we collar helps us better protect them.

The GPS collars connect to @EarthRangerTech, the park management system that UWA uses, providing real-time monitoring data. This helps UWA map wildlife corridors, identify conflict hotspots, and make informed conservation decisions.

The collared lions help us study pride behavior, hunting patterns, and territory use. This information helps UWA protect the lions while maintaining safe boundaries with nearby communities.

With Africa losing 75% of its lion population in the last 50 years, these conservation efforts are crucial. By supporting UWA through collaring operations, we're enhancing their wildlife monitoring capabilities and helping preserve Uganda's wildlife.

We’re grateful to our partners whose support makes this work possible: Great Plains Conservation @GreatPlainsCons, Tusk @tusk_org, the SeaWorld Busch Gardens Conservation Fund @, and the European Union-funded CITES-MIKE Program @EUinUG @CITES in Uganda. Together, we’re securing a future for lions in Uganda.

A historic start to the Second International Wildlife Scientific Conference.

Chief Guest, Mr. @koske_felix, EGH — Chief of Staff and Head of the Public Service, together with the Cabinet Secretary Hon. @rebecca_miano and Principal Secretary Hon. @PSMuseiya among other dignitaries arrive for the kick off the conference.

Their presence underscores the national importance of science, innovation, and research in driving Kenya’s wildlife conservation agenda and reaffirmed government commitment to safeguarding biodiversity as a pillar of socio-economic transformation.

Over the next three days, Naivasha becomes the hub of global wildlife science, bringing together researchers, policymakers, innovators, and conservation practitioners to exchange ideas, showcase cutting-edge solutions, and shape the future of conservation.

Stay tuned for more updates.

It’s truly inspiring to see what can be achieved when technology, organizations, and people unite to protect wildlife and the landscapes they depend on—while promoting peaceful coexistence for generations to come.

Today, June 17th 2025, UCF and other partners converge on the stunning Kidepo and wider Karamoja landscape in Uganda, and the rugged and hot terrain of neighbouring Turkana in north-western Kenya.

The team is here to satellite collar twenty elephants in a cross-border exercise designed to better understand how elephants use the landscape, their seasonal distributions and movement patterns. Also to support planning to minimise elephants and agriculture coming into conflict, which is already a serious concern. Whilst elephant have always existed in this transboundary region, the changes in land use and the pressures on land for agriculture, now need improved planning to support the region’s opportunity to benefit from all users of the territory.

The consortium of partners working with the Uganda Wildlife Authority @ugwildlife, the Kenya Wildlife Service @KWSKenya and Kenya Wildlife Research and Training Institute, includes Uganda Conservation Foundation (UCF), the Northern Rangeland Trust @NRT_Kenya, Wild Landscapes International @wild_landscapes, Save the Elephants @ste_kenya, with vital background support from the incredible pilots and and their aircraft of Tropic Air @TropicAirKenya and the Mara Elephant Project @MaraElephant.

This activity is partly funded by the EU NaturAfrica programme, supporting the transboundary conservation initiative, with additieonal funding provided through generous support to Wild Landscape International.ef Warden of Kidepo Valley Conservation Area.

This activity is partly funded by the European Union @EUinUG NaturAfrica programme, supporting the transboundary conservation initiative, with additional funding provided through generous support to Wild Landscapes International.

Collaring elephants in the wild is no mean feat. With ground-based vehicles, helicopters and fixed wing aircraft all simultaneously in motion, working with elephants across a huge landscape, this is a complex, high-stakes operation that demands precise coordination at scale.

The team also includes three young wildlife vets, all being supported in their career development through UCF. One member of this vital team, Dr Singoma, who has himself responded to over 500 snared animal recoveries in Murchison Falls alone, and who earlier in the year completed a series of wildlife immobilization courses in Zimbabwe and Kenya, comments:

‘I’m living my dream – working on this project is an incredible experience, and I am learning more daily, endlessly. It isn’t every day that someone gets the opportunity to be involved in something like this operation. I can’t wait!’

Every move - from identifying suitable candidates for darting, then tranquilising the particular elephants, the fitting of the collar while each huge creature is subdued, to post-procedure monitoring of each individual GPS-enabled transmitter on the Uganda Wildlife Authority’s country-wide ‘EarthRanger’ @EarthRangerTech system (a state-of-the-art, digital information gathering network also financed and rolled out by UCF) - must be executed with split-second precision, to ensure the safety of the animals and the collaring team.

Also supporting the operation is our EarthRanger team, including GIS analysts, UWA and UCF human-wildlife conflict officers, project managers overseeing coordination, and the UCF communications team and their drivers capturing and sharing this story with you.

Stay tuned for further updates throughout the week as the collars go on!

[UgandaCF @UgandaCF]

We’ve arrived in Kidepo Valley National Park, and the final pieces are falling into place for the elephant collaring operation.

Throughout the day, more of the team has been arriving—some by road, others by air. The energy on the ground is high as everyone gets to work: vets are running through their equipment one last time, the tech team is configuring the collars, and our spotters are out in the field mapping possible routes for the days ahead.

It’s incredible to witness the level of coordination and collaboration this kind of operation demands—specialists from across Uganda and Kenya coming together with a shared purpose.

Tomorrow, we head into the bush for the first collaring attempt. We’re hoping for smooth weather, minimal surprises, and some “cooperative” elephants. It’s going to be an intense few days—stay tuned for updates!

Elephant Edwin stopped by MEP HQ this week to show off his latest accessory – a brand-new @STL_Tracking satellite collar. He’s the 1st elephant recorded in ElephantBook, and he was collared for the 1st time in November to more effectively respond to his bold crop-raiding.

[Mara Elephant Project @MaraElephant]

Movement data from Lempiris, monitored since 2017 by @kwskenya, @wrtikenya and MEP, has highlighted critical environmental challenges and shaped conservation efforts. He was recently fitted with a new @STL_Tracking satellite collar to continue his monitoring for 3 years.

[Mara Elephant Project @MaraElephant]

In Dec, MEP supported @kwskenya to translocate and collar 3 crop raiding bulls to Tsavo West National Park. Affectionately named Richard, Brian and Colin after three of MEP’s guardian angels, during a recent monitoring exercise, they appeared to be settling in at their new home.

[Mara Elephant Project @MaraElephant]

It’s another Friday with Fred, the collared Mara Tusker. Recently monitored by the MEP research team, his protection only happens with your support. Double your impact for elephants today! All donations are matched up to $15K through tomorrow.

Uganda Wildlife Authority mourns the death of a ranger at the hands of armed poachers.

Pte Olara Jonathan was fatally shot on November 4, 2024, during an encounter with armed poachers. His courageous service and commitment to protecting Uganda's wildlife will be deeply missed.

MEP rangers deployed a drone to monitor collared elephant Fitz in the Nyakweri Forest. Normally monitored in the dense forest, he was out in the open, so they were able to note his overall good health and the condition of his collar.

[Mara Elephant Project @MaraElephant]

Indv 948, a conflict-prone bull elephant in the MEP database, recently received a new solar-powered @STL_Tracking collar. On October 26, he was collared in Mara North Conservancy with the support of @kwskenya (KWS) Vet Dr. Njoroge.
