Carnivore populations face threats from increasing human populations and rapidly diminishing, suitable habitat. Large carnivores such as African lions (Panthera leo) commonly attack livestock on lands adjacent to protected areas. This can lead to human-wildlife conflict (HWC) events that result in retaliatory lion killings. Conflict is a primary driver of wild lion population declines which are estimated to have decreased by 43% in the last 20 years. Etosha National Park (ENP) in Namibia is an IUCN designated Lion Conservation Unit and is home to the country's largest surviving and only stable lion population (last estimated ~481 individuals, 2014). However, Etosha lions still face increasing threats that accompany human and lion coexistence in and around protected areas such as the pressures of habitat loss and fragmentation and declining natural prey populations, as well as more direct threats such as commercial exploitation, disease epidemics from increased contact between domestic animals and wildlife, and mortalities resulting from human-carnivore conflict (HCC; Treves & Karanth 2009, Bauer et al. 2015). In addition to increased retaliatory killings driven by HCC, an increase in poaching has been a growing concern for MET staff, given the presence of multiple “high-value” species within the park, including lions themselves. Beginning in 2016, MET collaborated with researchers at WWF-Namibia and Etosha Ecological Institute to support the initiation of a Large Carnivore Monitoring Program in and around Etosha National Park. The project seeks to better monitor carnivore populations within the park and HCC on neighboring farms and communal conservancies in the surrounding area using lion GPS satellite collar data.
