LION- Losing its Kingdom?

bcprints
How long can the Lion roam in its kingdom? With their populations falling (recent data shows numbers to be only from 15,000 to 40,000) and man invading its territory, experts feel the king may soon fall.

-Thanks to Sean Hartley (born and raised in Kenya and has worked at several camps as a manager.
And to "Ping" a Maasai who is an excellent guide on the Mara, and has even worked at Animal Kingdom (Fl.-USA)

*Lion footage filmed by me in 2008 on the Olare Orok Conservancy and the Maasai Mara in Kenya, Africa.
-Myself next to "Joseph" lion footage filmed at Big Cat Rescue-Tampa, Fl by my wife.

I think the lion situation one is interesting and brings up much debate on how/if we can conserve the king of Africa. Can we save the lion, or is it doomed simply by the amount of people on this planet?
Although some conservation groups back trophy hunting, I do not fully agree and tend to support those parks that do not see hunting, nor "walk with a lion" programs as an option for the lions conservation.
Thanks so much for watching- Brian

    • This pod really spoke to me. I like to think that I'm environmentally conscious, but this pod surprised me. Not many people think of the lion as a species that is in danger of extinction, but it is true. All of the interviews were interesting, the narrator was good (but could've been a little bit more enthusiastic about the cause), and the lion footage used as B-roll was incredible! My only complaints are technical: the interview with the Masai guy was overexposed and pretty hard to see, and I think the cameraman should have taken some room tone to fill in sound between interviews. Other than that, this pod is superb. Put it on TV! Get the message out about the lions' plight!
