Thandiwe Mweetwa is a wildlife biologist working with the Zambian Carnivore Programme (ZCP) in Eastern Zambia. As Project Manager for ZCP’s Luangwa site, she coordinates the organization’s research, conservation and outreach activities in South Luangwa National Park (SLNP) and the adjoining Game Management Areas (GMAs). Her research areas of interest include studying population dynamics of large carnivores and threats to their persistence as well as understanding the nature and extent of human-carnivore conflict in the Luangwa Valley. Thandiwe is a National Geographic Explorer and an alumna of the Obama Foundation Leaders: Africa Program.

Summary: Human-Carnivore Conflict has been a major challenge in many parts of the world and it is now on the rise in areas where it has historically been uncommon. As wildlife managers seek to address this problem, there is a need to understand the drivers and the extent of the problem taking into account local contexts. In this talk, I will share the lessons learnt from our collaborative work to mitigate the emerging Human-Lion Conflict due to livestock predation in eastern Zambia.
