hyaenas can be found. This is based on information collected through

interviews conducted with local herders, researchers, chiefs and others who have
a good knowledge of carnivore presence in their area.

The survey was also presented to international audiences
during the KWS Annual Carnivore Conference, the African
Lion Working Group meeting in Laikipia and the National

Geographic Spotlight event at the National Museums of
Kenya.

The achievements in 2019 would not have been
possible without the financial support from the

Lion Recovery Fund, National Geographic, the
Liz Claiborne and Art Ortenberg Foundation, the
African Wildlife Foundation and WWF-Kenya.
