Title:

Human-Lion conflict management plan for north west Namibia

Publication Year:
2017
Abstract:

Managing Human-Lion Conflict in the arid environment of the Kunene Region is complex. Sporadic and variable rainfall patterns, typical of arid environments, result in large overlapping home ranges amongst the lions that often clash with local farmers in search of suitable grazing for their livestock. Lions are important to the growing tourism industry and there is an urgent need to manage Human-Lion Conflict in the region. Long-term data collected on the ecology of the lion population provide a sound basis to develop and implement a management strategy to address the conflict. The HumanLion Conflict Management Plan is subject to the National Policy on Human-Wildlife Conflict Management and relies on full collaboration by the various stakeholders under the guidance of the Ministry of Environment and Tourism.
