In Namibia, rangers are combining real-time data with traditional tracking knowledge to support farmers and protect a recovering desert lion population. The approach aims to reduce conflict between lions and farming communities while safeguarding the animals as their numbers recover. Positive News reported the work in a feature published on 29 October 2026, drawing on the rangers' use of smartphones alongside long-established tracking skills. The report did not give specific population figures or details of individual incidents.
