Field audits identified an extensive set of mechanisms by which
tourism enterprises run by private firms, local communities and
NGO’s contribute in practice to the conservation of lion, leopard and
cheetah. These mechanisms are summarised in Table 2, which also
cross-references previous published studies. The main measures
are: securing, expanding and improving habitat areas; expand-ing anti-poaching patrols and programs; combating illegal wildlife
trade; improving livestock husbandry using better fences and guard
dogs; well-designed livestock compensation schemes and predator
conservation incentives; and live-capture, veterinary services, cap-tive breeding, and translocation and reintroduction programmes
