| The distribution and status of lions and other large carnivores in Luengue-Luiana and Mavinga National Parks, Angola | |
| 2017 Full Book | |
We assessed the status and distribution of lions, other large carnivores and key herbivores, in both Luengue-Juiana and Mavinga National Parks. The survey was conducted as part of a Cooperation Agreement signed between Panthera and INBAC of the Angolan Ministry of Encironment on July 25th, 2015. Throughout both national parks, wildlife populations were decimated during the three decades' long Angolan Civil War. Although wildlife populations are recovering, there is intense bushmeat hunting by local villagers, and intense elephant poaching particularly along the Cuando (Kwando) River, south of the Luiana River. |
