Article Synopsis
- Trophy hunting of lions in Tanzania can offer conservation benefits, but it must be managed sustainably through effective governance that balances financial and biological factors.
- Research shows that areas with short-term hunting leases experience higher initial offtake levels but suffer faster declines in lion populations compared to long-term leases, which provide more sustainable hunting levels.
- Although short-term leases generate more revenue for the government, the findings suggest that improving property rights and lease stability could enhance conservation outcomes and ensure the long-term viability of lion populations.
