Pros:-Provides the main funding for the majority of state conservation efforts-Profits used to discourage poaching-Creates more funding for wildlife reserves
What are the regions where the lions remain?
How is sport hunting a threat to the lions?
What causes the lions' habitat loss?
Cons:-Lions are being hunted faster than they can reproduce: 4791 trophies were exported 2002-2009, from a population of 20,000-92% of the population decrease in Tananzia was due to sport hunting
How are conservation groups helping?
Save the African Lions!by Emily
Tan color=where the lions used to liveMaroon color=where the lions live now
Species: Panthera leoGenus: Pardofelis (marbled cat)
-Humans destroy the lions' habitat for agriculture-When an agricultural region is near a lion habitat, hungry lions wander through farms and kill livestock-Humans kill lions in retaliation for killing livestock
-There are only 20 remaining countries with the lions-The lions are almost completely gone from West Africa-70% of the remaining lions live in Southern/Eastern African regions
-The ICUN lists African lions as "vulnerable to extinction"-The ESA has created a new permit program, so hunting is only allowed in scientifically proven programs-Five conservation groups created a petition in 2011 to protect lions fro sport hunting
