The main objective of this project is to contribute to the conservation of forest elephants in Angola, improving existing knowledge about their taxonomic status, bio ecology, threats, and distribution in order to mitigate the Human-Elephant conflict.
• Identify the existence of forest elephants (Loxodonta cyclotis) in the Cuanza-Norte and Bengo regions;
• Identify the most critical geographic range used by elephants for conservation purposes;
• Analyse the leading causes of the Human-Elephant conflict in the region;
• Analyse the levels of local ecological knowledge and possible attitudes taken by hunters and citizens in relation to elephant conservation;
• The campaign for the placement of two GPS collars was carried out in 2020.
