IUCN and the Wildlife Conservation Society to hold two regional African lion conservation workshops Africa is home to most of the world’s lions, and the solutions for lion conservation must be developed here. There is a need for a conservation framework that integrates legislative provisions and a system of incentives for the lion and other wildlife species to successfully compete and co-exist with human activities outside protected areas. Unless the lion is perceived to have value by communities and other stakeholders outside protected areas, it will fail to compete for habitats. The national level is critical for the development of a conservation framework that leads to the resolution of the human – lion conflict. These national efforts need to be linked across geographic regions for enhanced impacts.
