Lions in West-Africa

[Matias]

Thank you, Tshokwane.

Materials collected from Google search, PLOS ONE, NATURE, WCS Nigeria, Panthera (Philip Henschel coordinated field work in the first West Lion global census). As I have been studying these lions for some time now, I have a good amount of material, all from sources of code / open access.

Suggestion for topic:

Investigate and map the other three areas where these lions still persist, as well as areas where they persisted until very recently such as: Comoé National Park (Cote d'Ivoire), National Park of Upper Niger and Kankan Faunal Reserve (Guinea), Mole National Park Ghana). In some of these areas lions have been missing for only 10 years, and there is still a small possibility of having a ghost population left. When presenting studies on these areas, TOPIC becomes more interesting, due to the objectivity and practicality of addressing real aspects of conservation.
