“…Future studies would benefit from satellite collaring elephants in KNP, providing fine-scale data on elephant movements and improving our knowledge of elephant distribution in the wet season. Initial elephant collaring efforts in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve and Namizimu Forest Reserve, Malawi, have highlighted the benefits of collaring for investigating transboundary movements and potential areas of HEC (Sievert et al 2022).…”

“…The drivers of elephant population decline in KNP are synonymous with the causes of elephant decline throughout protected areas in Malawi (NEAPM 2015). However, most Malawian protected areas lack detailed ecological information to inform elephant management strategies and aid population recovery (NEAPM 2015;Sievert et al 2022). Consequently, information on elephant behaviour and ecology in KNP can potentially inform wider management strategies in areas that are currently data deficient.…”

“…Although some parks under public-private partnerships have begun to recover large carnivore populations through translocation and reintroduction projects (e.g., Briers-Louw et al, 2019;Sievert, Fattebert, et al, 2022), most of Malawi's protected areas are reliant on corridor protection, reserve restoration, and natural recolonization to increase large carnivore populations. As several protected areas in Malawi have transboundary initiatives with the Luangwa Valley system in Zambia, they are optimal areas for dispersal and potential recolonization (Davis et al, 2021;Sievert, Evans, et al, 2022). Here, using data from a recent camera trap survey, we document a novel record of a group of wild dogs in Vwaza Marsh Wildlife Reserve (hereafter Vwaza), Malawi.…”

“…Several studies (e.g. Gandiwa et al., 2013; Ngene, 2010; Owen‐Smith & Chafota, 2012; Sievert et al., 2022; Wall, 2015) investigating African savannah elephant movement patterns and migration ecology in response to forage opportunities and poaching threats inside and outside protected areas indicated that their foraging behaviour threatened the resilience and stability of their habitat ranges. African savannah elephants, as true ecosystem engineers, shape their habitats in the process affecting their foraging opportunities (Jones et al., 1994; Kyokuhaire et al., 2023; Owen‐Smith & Chafota, 2012).…”
