Contribution to lion conservation in Central Africa via human-lion conflict assessment and alleviation around the Zakouma National Park, south eastern Chad
African lion population is today considered to be threatened and one of the main current causes of population decline is the growing conflicts between the predator and human communities. The overall aim of this project is to contribute to the lion conservation in Central Africa through a study of human-lion conflicts in the Zakouma National Park area. This target will be met through a structured interview study and the radio-monitoring of five lions fitted with VHF collars
