Ewaso Lions

Lion conservation recently became an issue of international concern when statistics revealed that lion numbers in Africa have plummeted to between 16,000 and 45,000. The lion population has declined by 30%-50% in just over the past two decades, a reduction largely due to habitat loss and conflict with humans.

This website represents my PhD work through Oxford University, which focuses on the lions of the Ewaso ecosystem in Northern Kenya. Through this project, I am continuing and complementing the research I did for my Masters’ degree (MSc) in 2003. I currently work in Samburu, Buffalo Springs and Shaba National Reserves and West Gate Community Conservancy.

Please browse, explore and learn all about the Ewaso Lions and how you can help safeguard their future. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks,

Shivani
