One of the most difficult challenges in lion conservation is mitigating human-lion conflict. Without intervention, lions will prey on livestock—it’s an easy, abundant food source in landscapes where wild prey can be scarce. This threat to the livelihoods that sustain rural communities often triggers retaliation, putting lions at risk.
Lions’ road to recovery is long, and it’s about more than growing their numbers. It’s about making sure that growth comes through lasting coexistence with the people who share their habitat.
