Episode 029 - Project Management Case Study: Human - Lion Conflict - Planning Phase

Show Notes
This episode is dedicated to the planning phase of the project management lifecycle. There are four primary phases to the lifecycle, initiation, planning, implementing, and closure. For the next few solo episodes I want to move into broader project management discussion based on applications from case studies and how it fits into each of the lifecycle phases.
The first case study I am diving into one of the BIGGEST human/wildlife issues. Lions! I found very interesting research on mitigation strategies to prevent killing lions that kill livestock, the lions that kill people.
I find that recommendations from conservationists sometimes get stuck in papers and never find their way out into the space for people to implement. As you may already know, many times these research papers are full of amazing mitigation recommendations and then nothing happens because it is uploaded to a virtual world and there it remains. Let’s start exploring the ideas to reduce human/wildlife conflict in populations that are severely threatened by using the mitigations recommendation provided by these studies.
I dig into the one particular recommendation from the research. It is preventing the use of rat poison to kill lions. Right now this is the cheapest and easiest way for people to eradicate lion and stop them from eating livestock. With only 50,000 left in all of Africa there is not much time left if we are facing extinction by poison.
