Find out on Thursday 28 November how cooperation and research are helping to protect species.

Simone Eckhardt of SPOTS Foundation and Tammy Hoth-Hanssen of the Namibian Lion Trust will share their experiences in protecting lions in Namibia, and discuss the challenges and successes they also face in Europe.

SPOTS Foundation, with support from ARTIS, works with local initiatives such as the Namibian Lion Trust to reduce human-animal conflicts. They help farmers build cattle pens, provide lions with GPS collars and deploy ‘lion guards’. This approach reduces livestock losses to lions and promotes tolerance for these animals.
