AfriCat North reports on a question many are asking . . .
WHY WERE 6 LIONS KILLED IN NORTHWESTERN NAMIBIA RECENTLY?! 6 lions killed by a farmer, Mr. Otjomitjira, in the Ehirovipuka Conservancy core conservation area close to Palmfontein; the lions apparently killed 2 -3 livestock, the farmer retaliating without reporting to Police, MET nor AfriCat.
This specific farmer has been involved in poisoning carcasses, distributing pieces of poisoned meat to kill lions and spotted hyaena; needless to say other wildlife have perished including a number of lappet-faced and white-backed vultures. No poisoned lions have been found to date. Mr Otjomitjira and other farmers had their rifles confiscated by police earlier on in the year, but that has not deterred him from acquiring another.
A more detailed report forthcoming once the Lion Guardians return from their investigations. The killing of these lions is the result of stalled action against a group of farmers who moved into this core conservation zone for grazing, approximately 6 months to a year ago. These farmers are not members of the said conservancy, and despite repeated efforts to prevent this, have settled in a so-called ‘core conservation area’, which is in essence, a wildlife breeding area, specially protected by Conservancy Policy.
One of the AfriCat Lion Guardians, Senior Headman Ben Muzuma, has for months been involved in negotiations with MET, Police, Traditional Authorities and the Conservancy Committee regarding the eviction of the said farmers; while instructions from the Chief, permitting eviction of the said farmers has been submitted, it is uncertain as to why legal action has not yet been taken. The 3-year drought has taken its toll on the farmers of the north-west; however, neither settlement nor grazing is permitted in a core conservation zone; only photographic tourism is allowed in these specially protected areas, encouraging the development of lodges and non-consumptive tourism-related activities, benefiting both long-term conservation of wildlife as well as conservancy members.
