Lion Conservation Organizations

The Ruaha Carnivore Project (RCP) operates over a huge expanse of wildlife habitat in central Tanzania, where critical carnivore populations frequently come into conflict with local communities.

The area contains one of only four cheetah populations in East Africa and the third largest population of African wild dogs on the continent. It is also home to around 10% of the world’s wild lions. These animals pose a genuine threat to livestock, especially to the cattle which are of huge cultural and economic importance to local pastoralist groups. In addition, lion hunting by young warriors is a deeply ingrained tradition for some of these societies.
