Follow on Google News | Wildlize African Wildlife Conservation Foundation Consolidates Sub-Saharan Lion Conservation ProjectWildize African Wildlife Conservation Foundation has consolidated its sub-Saharan Lion Conservation project. It has co-ordinated several on-ground projects to check the causes that are responsible for the killing of lions.
In order to combat these problems, Wildize decided to go for the consolidation. Under this wildlife conservation project, the foundation has taken up several measures to find out ways to stop the killing of lions. Currently it has undertaken a captive study in Botswana with 20 lions as study subjects. Meat baits are being used to predict the predatory responses of the lions towards the cattle. This study is being carried out to show that the CTA (Conditioned Taste Aversion) treatment is effective in inhibiting future conflicts between predators and farmers. The study is being conducted under Denver Zoo Associate Researchers Bill Given and Glyn Maude. Wildize has also funded the building of a large enclosure within the Tsavo National Park. This enclosure has been built away from the humans and livestock and the lions are fed and trained with live bait. Apart from this After implementation of CTA in Botswana, the foundation is now working with the Kenya Wildlife Service to initiate the CTA protocol in Kenya. Wildize has enhanced its work elsewhere in Botswana where it is funding an African Predator Conservation Research Organization( For more information about African wildlife conservation Projects please visit http://www.wildize.org/ # # # Wildize Foundation is a non-profit African Conservation Organization which funds and supports several African Conservation Projects that are working towards African Community Development and African Wildlife Conservation End
