Title:
Average of 22 lions killed in Etosha area per year
Author(s):

Abstract:

There were 698 lions killed by humans between 1980 and 2018 in the areas surrounding Etosha National Park - an average of 22 lions per year, although researchers say this number is likely an underestimate. A new study found there was no single reason behind the killings.
