Assessing the densities of four carnivore species and their conflict with local livestock farmers within and on the boundaries of Queen Elizabeth, Murchison Falls, Kidepo Valley, Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve and Lake Mburo National Parks
REFNo: NS331ES
Key objectives are to provide UWA and UNCST with updated density estimates of hyenas, lions, cheetahs and leopards using the latest spatially-explicit methods, and develop a conflict risk map for authorities for bettered allocation of resources to reduce lion and hyena attacks on livestock in future. I anticipate at least four key products to emerge from this research, 1) At least two high impact applied journal articles (eg. Journal of Applied Ecology or Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment), 2) a standardized, easy to repeat citizen science data collection protocol which uses the methods developed in 2022-2023 with Makerere students and other conservation stakeholders, 3) several training workshops with local scientists from Makere University, UWA staff, park staff and local lodges on density estimation techniques for large carnivores and 4) a conflict risk map covering these five protected areas which will be used by the Ugandan wildlife Authority to identify critical zones for conservation interventions to be applied in 2023 and beyond.
