It appears the lions were poisoned. With insufficient funding and poor utilization of resources we will continue to lose our wildlife. Education is key. The importance of tourism is too great to be ignored. Rather than thinking about the present we must think about our future. People are saying we have bigger problems to address rather than wildlife, there is land, poverty, aids etc. The task for the protectors of our wildlife is only going to get harder and harder. We must act now, educating people, strengthening the laws and it is only us as Kenyans who can do that. Our Government needs to know that their local 'mwanainchi' are concerned about the loss of wildlife, environmental degradation etc and it is not just a preserve of the foreigner / tourist. If we do not stand up and do or say something it is only us and our future generations who will suffer. I am currently working on ways and means of how to involve Kenyans in learning about the importance of Wildlife and how we can come together and protect it. Kindly watch this space as I will appreciate all the help I can get. Pole sana to those who tirelessly work to protect the animals in the Mara. We may lose the battle but we will win the war.

What a brilliant job they are doing. Matbe you should set up a guardians system like this to monitor these poisonings. Have checked out lion guardians web site. What a brilliant job they are doing.
