Organization: African People & Wildlife FundAddressing decline of lion populations by building the capacity of Tanzanians to scientifically monitor their lion populations, to reduce direct conflicts with lions via lion-livestock conflict avoidance techniques and to protect lion habitat. Efforts include the installation of 120 lion-resistant enclosures to reduce lion-livestock conflict, active patrolling of 885,000 acres of lion habitat by Maasai village game scouts and the continuing education of 500 Maasai youth about lions and lion conservation in four local primary schools. The DWCF funded this program before in 2007.
