Community Conservancies in Ethiopia (2026): Model & Impact
Community conservancies in Ethiopia empower local people to manage wildlife and land while earning sustainable income. Yet funding gaps and weak governance threaten their long-term viability.
African Elephant Conservation in Ethiopia (2026): Status & Threats
Ethiopia's elephant population has collapsed from over 10,000 in the 1970s to just 2,500–3,000 today—a 90% decline driven by poaching for ivory, habitat loss, and human-elephant conflict. Recent conservation initiatives and anti-poaching operations are beginning to show results.
African Wild Dog Conservation in Eswatini: 2026 Status
African wild dogs are Endangered, but the available research does not confirm a resident population or a dedicated wild-dog programme in Eswatini. Conservation priorities for the country are therefore habitat connectivity, disease prevention, protected-area financing and better monitoring.
Leopard Conservation in Madagascar: What 2026 Research Shows
Madagascar’s 2026 conservation evidence does not document a native wild leopard population or a leopard-specific programme. Conservation priorities instead centre on protecting the island’s forests, community-managed areas and endemic wildlife while applying wider large-carnivore lessons about habitat loss, prey depletion and conflict [1][3].
