\begin{abstract}
The civil war in C\selectlanguage{ngerman}ôte d'Ivoire between 2002 and 2010 led to a hike in
human disturbances and the disappearance of African lions (Panthera leo)
from the Comoé National Park (CNP). After the crisis, many efforts to
conserve and restore this ecosystem and its biodiversity have been made
and the management authority is considering the reintroduction of lions.
We assessed the acceptance of the reintroduction of the lions by the
local populations; through a sociological survey, we administered
questionnaires to 307 people in 23 villages bordering CNP. A large
majority (71\%, n=218) were in favor of the return of the lions, with
significant variation among ethnic groups. A general linear model
analysis (GLM) revealed that apart from ethnic group, profession and
origin (village) are significantly determinant for the acceptance of
lion reintroduction to CNP. Most respondents had knowledge of the
species (96\%, n=296). The majority of respondents (81\%, n=250)
acknowledged having coexisted with lions, with previous conflicts with
lions reported by 16\% (n = 49) of respondents and a willingness to
coexist with future lions reported by 81\% (n = 248) of respondents.
More than 84\% (n=260) of respondents believed that there would be
benefits associated with lion return to CNP and 52\% (n=161) and 14\%
(n=44) of respondents believed that the potential benefits would be
greater and less than the possible risks associated with lion return.
Just under half of respondents (42\%; n=129) confirmed the current
participatory management of CNP while the majority (91\%; n=280)
confirmed the possibility of taking own precautions to prevent attacks
from future lion. We recommend the improvement of the involvement of
indigenous communities in any reintroduction and the implementation of
environmental education projects as a condition for the potential
reintroduction of lions.%
