Nearly half of Africa's wild lion populations may decline to near extinction over the next 20-40 years without urgent conservation measures, a report has said.
The report, entitled 'Conserving large carnivores: dollars and fence', which has been published today in the scientific journal Ecology Letters, said that the plight of many lion populations is so bleak, the report concludes that fencing them in, and fencing humans out, may be their only hope for survival.
