DeLHRA, short for Desertlions Human Relations Aid, is a voluntary non-profit organisation founded to find a lasting solution to human-lion conflict in Namibia's Kunene region. Working side by side with local farming communities, the organisation combines livestock protection, education and awareness raising, and monitoring of desert lion movements to reduce retaliatory killings. By supplying practical tools and shade structures to livestock enclosures, and by keeping farmers informed about pride territories and grazing patterns, DeLHRA helps communities protect their herds while giving the desert lion population room to recover.

Contact and engagement are at the heart of this work, and enquiries from farmers, conservancies, conservationists, students and supporters are warmly welcomed. The organisation is based in Swakopmund, Namibia, and collaborates with conservancies, pride monitoring teams and regional partners across the Kunene area. Memorandums of understanding with partner organisations, community meetings, awareness materials and field visits all help build trust, share knowledge, and secure the future of the desert lion, a rare and rapidly threatened subspecies facing extinction in its natural habitat.
