摘要：

We assessed the factors influencing local community perceptions towards lions in the Selous Game Reserve, Tanzania. Data were collected from 384 households through questionnaire surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions, and analyzed by content analysis and IBM SPSS version 20. About 86% (n=331) of respondents had negative perceptions towards lions. Education (p=0.0016,R=1.68), occupation (p=0.0021,R=-2.07), livestock numbers (p=0.0011,R=0.-0.43), livestock management (p=0.0006,R=0.373), water sources (p=0.0019,R=-0.21), and distance from the protected area (p=0.0183,R=2.11) were significant factors for community perceptions towards lions. We recommend compensation for the victims of lion attacks to reduce negative attitudes towards the species.
