In the Bush with Lions
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!
