I would say that the locals dont understand the issue any further than how it affects their own personal bubble. They dont own the Lions, the Lions happen to live within the same lines drawn on a map as they do. The Lions neither know about or care about these lines. That in no way makes these Lions the propery of people from Zimbabwe. In the same way that the rainforest destruction is everyones problem, not just a problem for those living in the rainforest.

What is the point of arguing who owns what? Does that refute the idea that people who are most directly affected should have a greater say? Also the world hardly operates according to that concept of owning that you mention with regards to environmental protection. Is the international community pledging resources to support countries that choose to protect the environment instead of seeking so-called economic development? See for example this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuní-ITT_Initiative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yasuní-ITT_Initiative
