FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded):

The African lion population is "half of what it was in the early 1950's" (WCN).

The project dedicated to saving the lions in Africa states that community participation is "an essential element of long term protection" (WCN).

The Niassa Lion Project "conducts an ongoing program of pragmatic research targeted at developing ways to assess and mitigate threats to long-term survival of lions and associated wildlife species" (WCN).

Conflicts between lions and humans has been reduced due to "fencing and other measures"such as educating the youth and teaching the locals that hunting the lions is wrong and dangerous for the safety of thier population (WCN).

In order to keep a good eye on the lions, the Niassa Lion Project decided to use "GPS radio- collaring" (WCN).
