Day 4
2500 m² of secure habitat for lions for one year in Botswana
LIVING WITH WILD NEIGHBORS
Peaceful coexistence of farmers and lions is possible
need
Peaceful coexistence of humans and lions on the edge of the Okavango Conservation Area in Botswana
activity
Lion rangers train farmers in herd protection, provide early warning of lions and provide immediate assistance in the event of lion attacks
Measurable performance
The number of livestock attacks by lions and the number of lion killings in the project area is sustainably reduced by more than 85%
Result
Other communities are being recruited to protect the lions and their lion rangers are largely covering the buffer zone to the Okavango Conservation Area
Systemically relevant impact
The communities in the region resolve wildlife conflicts independently, live in peaceful coexistence with lions and thus preserve the lion population in the region
