Visitors in camp
Category: life in camp, lion research fieldwork | Date: Oct 27 2007 | By: admin
We are having visitors at our camp recently. We had two Masters’ students from Leiden University in the Netherlands (they stayed with us for only one day) and two Doctorate students from the Oxford University, UK. All are researching biologists and the joke going around camp now is that we have enough heads at the moment to run a multinational research organization.
On a recent monitoring exercise, they came across three of the lions. Lentim (a lone male that lives near our camp), Sangale and Nemasi, who have moved in together to the plains a few kilometers from our camp. It seems that Sangale followed Nemasi into her territory. This area now has an abundance of game.
Otherwise, nothing major to report except light rains that have been showering several parts of the group ranch. The result is this.

Welcome to our blog Munkesia. We are very happy to find someone from our own Group Ranch supporting us and actually endorsing our work as being good!
Thanks.

Hello.
I am curious…
What kind of research were the biology students conducting? Or was their purpose to observe the conservation efforts?

Mary - I can answer that… the couple from Leiden are woking on the amboseli lion research project. I am helping them out with a few of the more technical aspects of their work on that side. The folks from Oxford are part of the wildlife and conservation research unit, which I’m affiliated with http://www.wildcru.org/ They are here just to learn a bit more about what I’m doing in the field, and to see the lion guardians in action.

Thank you, Seamus.
I am learning new things everyday. I have never heard of wildcru before. Based on the information provided on the website this sounds like a wonderful organzization committed to doing great things for the future of our world! I will have to look into this further…
