Overview
This dataset contains 65,959 images and 199 videos from the Desert Lion Conservation Project in Northern Namibia. Desert Lion Conservation is a small non-profit organisation dedicated to the conservation of desert-adapted lions. Their main focus is to collect important baseline ecological data on the lion population and to study their behaviour, biology, and adaptation to survive in the harsh environment. They use this information to collaborate with other conservation bodies in the quest to find a solution to human-lion conflict, to elevate the tourism value of lions, and to contribute to the conservation of the species.
Labels are provided for 46 categories, primarily at the species level. There are no images annotated as empty.
