The Spirit of the World ( On and Off)
At Home in the Savannah (Endangered # 6)
Taken on one of my first safaris and in Tanzania in the spectacular Serengeti. She is certainly the master of all she surveys or is she.
This was taken seven years ago and there was no talk about the lion population of Africa being in danger. However, during my last trip to the continent a year ago that observation had changed.
They are not officially on the wildlife's endangered list, but I am putting them into my series of animals whose numbers are RAPIDLY declining due to poaching and hunting by humans. Farmers in Africa have always killed lions who stalked their domestic farm animals as well, but progress is being made to help them deal with lions in other ways.
Today is World Wildlife Day and to read more about what we can all do to preserve the species in danger you can go to this site: www.un.org/en/events/wildlifeday/
And another great article about Jane Goodall www.nytimes.com/2015/03/15/magazine/jane-goodall-is-still...
