Kwando Carnivore Project
Three enormous male lions killed an elephant on Lupala Island in the Nkasa Rupara NP last week. It was the perfect opportunity to get a collar on this group as they were very relaxed and refused to leave their prize. They spent days around the carcass keeping the vultures at bay. When it was time to move on they left Lupala Island for Nkasa Island next door and are currently right on the border of Botswana. The Linyanti Swamps that falls within this park and beyond is fascinating when it comes to lion movement. New animals pop in all the time as these lions are truly a shared transboundary population.

African Parks
John Scanlon, Special Envoy for African Parks and former Secretary-General of CITES, spoke to the Financial Times about how conservation efforts have been affected by the Covid-19 crisis and the need for a new international wildlife trade regime to avoid the next pandemic. Conservation efforts have been severely affected by the sudden drop in ecotourism and economic downturn, but John Scanlon says now is not the time to redirect funding away from such work. Doing so could cause a disproportionate loss in biodiversity and wild places as well as jobs for local people. Maintaining such funding can help to prevent the next pandemic in addition to the vast array of benefits provided by protected areas including mitigating climate change and other ecosystem services.
