Status and distribution of the lion (_Panthera leo_) in east and southern 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 East and Southern Africa and threats to the populations. Lion population estimates from two recent publications are compared, highlighting the differences and similarities, and analyzing the methodological differences, especially insofar as they explain differences between the two publications. There is a continental overview, and detailed sections for each East and Southern African lion range state. A summary of the 2004 assessment of the lion for the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species is also included.
