"As for other lion-range countries, Ashe says USFWS is still reviewing permit applications for those areas. The four African nations, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, will only receive permits to import sport hunted lion trophies if USFWS receives sufficient evidence of the long term benefits to their wild lion populations."

This is the stickler and depends on what the USFWS "person in charge of lion permits" deems sufficient evidence.




Agreed..GLAD I got mine in Zim in 2008...doesn't look good for the future...which in turn will have a negative impact on the lions as many from the USA may no longer go with this uncertainty..And, from what I have found using a booking agent out of Europe, we here in the good old USA get a special "upgrade" in terms of costs for hunts in certain instances when compared to the same hunts sold in Europe and elsewhere..so double whammy...IMHO...
