Zimbabwean conservationist Moreangels Mbizah won one of this year’s Whitley Awards. The prize money will fund the expansion of the work led by her NGO, Wildlife Conservation Action, in a region that is a hotspot for human-carnivore conflict. Community guardians employed by WCA warn farmers when lions enter their farming areas, promote the use of secure animal enclosures for cattle, goats and sheep, and install solar-powered flashing lights to deter nocturnal raids.
