IRDNC	Title: Kunene Lion Support Programme Description: The thrust of IRDNC’s effort is to respond to escalating Human Lion Conflict (HLC) in the short-term whilst simultaneously developing long-term mitigating measures as well as exploring incentives for communities living with lion. This pressing need grows out of increasing human lion conflict (HLC) in North-west Namibia stemming from the success of Community-Based Natural Resource Management (CBNRM) in conserving the region’s unique desert-adapted lion population, linked to severe drought which has led to a decline in wildlife numbers. Increasing HLC is an urgent and immediate threat to Kunene’s lions and farmers’ livelihoods. The Kunene Lion Support Programme can address these problems sustainably. It has been a very busy year, and the first two six-monthly reports illustrate this. Project duration: 1 June 2018 - 31 May 2020 Project sponsors:	Technical Report 2018 Technical Report 2019 12 Month Report 2019 Final Report 2020
