Some months ago, a decision was made to re-brand AfriCat North and to begin a new Chapter in Large Carnivore Conservation, with emphasis on the Lion (Panthera leo). 2020, the start of a new decade, sees the launch of the Namibian Lion Trust (NLT), with its own charitable status and independent, enthusiastic Board of Trustees. The key purpose of its work: to increase the protection of lions and to guide local communities to live alongside carnivores, will continue with the Lion Guard Programme, Early-Warning Systems for farmers in areas of conflict, livestock protection techniques, Research, Community enhancement and Education in Conservation & Agriculture.
