As part of my Master's Programme, I Went to for an Intership Kenya to do research on the African lion in Amboseli National Park . I Was to stay there, Along with fellow researcher Willemijn, for about four months. While I, the biologist, focusing on the Would Be Themselves lions, Willy, the anthropoligist, Would Be focusing on the local people's Perceptions of the lion.
Generally, the information Accumulated DURING this project will support improvement to the management for the Amboseli Ecosystem Strategies with Respect to STI lions, and will Significantly Efforts Contribute to lion conservation in East Africa. More specifically, the data will tell us about the Amboseli Lion Population - How Many lions? How Many privatedes? How Many Females? How Many Cubs? how old? - And Its Movements - where do they go in the day? the night? dry season?. Also it will tell us the local Maasai lions and Other Perceptions of predators in the area, Which Are Killing Their cattle predators (and Which Are Blamed) and What the new Predator Consolation Scheme's effect on this is.
The internship part of the larger Amboseli Lion Project s, which is to Cooperation Between the Institute of Environmental Sciences (CML) at Leiden University and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Also cooperating Are the Panthera Leo Leo Foundation and the CHTM Living with Lions
