Determining methods to assess the impact of human activity on stress behaviour of free-ranging Leopards (Panthera pardus) and Lions (Panthera leo) in Queen-Elizabeth NP, Uganda
REFNo: NS390ES

The aim of the proposed research project is to determine behavioural criteria in leopards and lions that correlate with their current stress levels, especially if caused by human proximity. Knowledge derived from this study can help determine and prevent harmful human impact on large cats, as for example by tourism or construction work.
