Sarah and Laura - Lion Encounter
Zambia
November 22, 2009
We spent the morning walking with 17 month old lion cubs (the same age as MY little cub). The program is called ALERT – African Lion & Environmental Research Trust – and it works with groups across Africa to promote productive and healthy environments for the African Lion. It’s a rehab and repopulation program. The African Lion population has seen a decrease of roughly 90% in the last 30 years – such a tragedy. But this program is helping repopulate the continent. And I got to walk with lions!
