VIDEO Rewarded by WWF (2008) How long can the Lion roam its kingdom? With lion populations dropping (recent data shows numbers between 15,000 to 25,000 left) and man invading its territory, experts feel the lion is in serious trouble.

His blog here: http://www.dezinedesign.com/sean-hartley-mara-news And to "Ping" a Maasai who is an excellent guide on the Mara, and has even worked at Animal Kingdom (Fl.-USA) 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 human conflict? 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. I feel by simply protecting enough land with funds from tourist and animal groups the lion will do just fine. Thanks for watching! - Brian *Lion footage filmed by me in 2008 on the Olare Orok Conservancy and Maasai Mara in Kenya, Africa. -Myself next to "Joseph" lion filmed at Big Cat Rescue-Tampa, Fl by my wife.
