This book places lion conservation and the relationship between
people and lions both in historical context and in the context of
the contemporary politics of conservation in Africa. The killing of
Cecil the Lion in July 2015 brought such issues to the public's
attention. Were lions threatened in the wild and what was the best
form of conservation? How best can lions be saved from extinction
in the wild in Africa amid rural poverty, precarious livelihoods
for local communities and an expanding human population? This book
traces man's relationship with lions through history, from
hominids, to the Romans, through colonial occupation and
independence, to the present day. It concludes with an examination
of the current crisis of conservation and the conflict between
Western animal welfare concepts and sustainable development, thrown
into sharp focus by the killing of Cecil the lion. Through this
historical account, Keith Somerville provides a coherent,
evidence-based assessment of current human-lion relations,
providing context to the present situation. This book will be of
interest to students and scholars of environmental and African
history, wildlife conservation, environmental management and
political ecology, as well as the general reader.
