Southern Tanzania’s Ruaha landscape is one of the most important places left in the world for lions, painted wolves and other large carnivores. However, it is also home to some of the poorest people on the planet, who lose valuable livestock to these carnivores and regularly kill them. PTES is helping the Ruaha Carnivore Project reduce attacks, provide wildlife-related benefits and encourage humans and carnivores to live alongside one another. The Ruaha Carnivore Project supports communities with their Lion Defenders scheme. Video from WildAid.
