Conservation of the Lion in West Africa and Central Africa
2005 Full Book
The present paper was written at the request of the Central Coordinating Committee for the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Regional African Lion Conservation Workshops. The objective of the paper is to provide current information on the status and distribution of the lion in the range states of West and Central Africa and threats to the populations. This document must be included/understood as a working paper prepared by a small group of experts, subject to the authorities of the lion range states as well as those from the international scientific community. It is intended to be used as support for work to come which can and will supplement and improve it at the rate/rhythm of the development of knowledge on the subject. This should not be perceived as a conclusive final image of the conservation of the lion in these two areas.
