Saving the Big Cats with GIS - Location intelligence is helping livestock herders and lions peacefully share the land in Africa

摘要

Lions clash with livestock herders in some regions of Africa, and the situation threatens both. The traditional approach of trans-locating lions a way from cattle often doesn't work. This is because once lions are moved many return 10 prey on livestock, which leads to retaliatory killings by herders. Other trans-located lions die from the stress are attacked by dominant male lions they encounter, or die from other dangers while trying to return home.
