Many savanna-dependent species in Africa, including large herbivores and apex predators, are at increasing risk of extinction. Estimated costs of achieving effective management of protected areas in Africa where lions live could reach $2 billion (USD) annually. Researchers have now explored the potential for fire management-based carbon-financing programs to fill this funding gap and benefit degrading savanna ecosystems.
