Declare lions a FULLY protected species under Botswana's wildlife act legislation of 1992

The Issue

Although lion hunting is currently banned in Botswana, I am worried that the ban may be lifted, and lion hunting might be legal again. However, with only 1,200 lions remaining in Botswana, they are too precious to lose. That's why we should  FULLY protect them under the Wildlife Act legislation of 1992 in Botswana. Please, make an amendment to the Wildlife Act of 1992 to upgrade lions from a partially protected species to a fully protected species.  Thank you!
