2010  Full Book

The Goal of this Strategy is to secure, and where possible, restore viable lion populations in Mozambique, recognizing their potential to provide substantial social, cultural, ecological and economic benefits for people, while minimizing conflicts. To achieve the Goal, the Strategy sets out the following six strategic Objectives: (1) Management - to ensure effective conservation management of lions, their habitats and wild prey; (2) Mitigation - to minimize, where possible, human-lion related conflicts; (3) Socio-economics - to increase the benefits and minimize the costs of long-term lion management amongst all the stakeholders; (4) Policy and Land Use - to develop and implement harmonious, comprehensive legal and institutional frameworks that provide for the expansion of wildlife-integrated land-use, lion conservation and associated socio-economic benefits in current and potential lion range; (5) Politics - to ensure that global policies better reflect the will and intent of regional and national sustainable use policies and practices; and (6) Trade - to prevent illegal trade in lions and lion products while promoting and safeguarding sustainable legal trade.
