The Northern Lion in Immediate danger of Extinction
Incursions by herdsmen and their livestock in recent years is causing the rapid disappearance of lions, which are a rare African subspecies, the Northern lion, Panthera leo leo, and are in immediate danger of extinction in Cameroon and across the rest of their range.
Cattle herds and lions need to be kept apart, largely by keeping herdsmen and their livestock outside of all protected areas.
