Lion Poaching Investigation in Zimbabwe
In October 2024, Zimbabwe’s Hwange National Park reported a suspected lion poaching incident, with three lion carcasses found mutilated. Zimparks suspects poaching for illegal trade, driven by high demand for lion bones in Asia, where they are used in traditional medicine. The park, home to 500 lions and other wildlife, faces ongoing poaching challenges despite strict measures, including drone surveillance and shoot-to-kill policies. Conservation efforts must adapt to prevent future incidents and combat the demand for wildlife parts, while continuing to monitor vast protected areas.
