*Conflict Mitigation*
" style="style3"]As the lion population in our operating area grows, so do conflicts arising from lion attacks on livestock—posing a serious threat to both community livelihoods and lion survival. Our mobile conflict mitigation program blends rigorous science with traditional Maasai knowledge and skills to resolve conflicts in real time and prevent future incidents. By proactively steering lions away from conflict hotspots and reducing community anxiety, we create lasting solutions that protect both lions and the people who share their land.
