Lionesses resting, Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania stock photo

Lionesses resting, Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania The Selous Game Reserve in southeastern Tanzania is very large – about 47,500 km2. Supposedly home to a great wealth and diversity of wildlife, it has also been identified as one of the most important lion “strongholds” in Africa. It has also recently become known as a massive elephant poaching slaughterhouse. A scientific paper by Riggio et al (2013) estimated a lion population of no less than 7,644 individuals in the Selous region, with 4,953 in the “protected” areas . The estimate was made by remote sensing of “suitable habitat” and then extrapolating lions into the area. Now ask yourself if those sorts of lion “population estimates” are good enough to guide any conservation programme for a species in rapid decline? Carnivorous Stock Photo
