| Niassa Lion Project - Annual Report | |
| 2011 Full Book | |
The Niassa Carnivore Project (NCP) has been working in Niassa National Reserve (NNR) since 2003 with a focus on carnivore conservation. Our mission is to secure lions and other large carnivores in NNR by promoting coexistence between carnivores and people and directly mitigating human induced threats. We work in close collaboration with the Mozambican management authority (SRN), local communities and other conservation partners. The broad goal of the NCP for 2011 were a) to consolidate what we had learned, disseminate our findings and complete outstanding projects and b) to develop and secure Phase III of the Niassa Carnivore project (2012-2016). While we are making progess, lions and other carnivores are not secure in NNR at present, threats are increasing and combined mortality from legal and illegal off-take is not sustainable. We hope to move forward in 2012 with the building of an Environmental and Skills training Centre for Niassa residents, testing and implementing solutions to bushmeat snaring in collaboration with the Mbamba community and the NNR management team and continuing with our other programs. |
