As we prepare for the Walk for Lions, we are extremely happy with how the organisation has turned out, and with so many showing interest to help and support. We truly thank you all for this. Many of you have contacted us directly with regards to volunteer opportunities and we ask only that you wait until our sister company is off the ground. But first, a campaign for LIONS. If you want to help, start by getting more people to watch Lion news and as we walk on our journey to create awareness, various controversial topics will be discussed for you to view.
We thank you all again for your support and remember, ITS ALL ABOUT THE LIONS. We have less than 20 000 or so left, lets make every min count.

contrasting instrumental and intrinsic value. Trophy hunting is thus both a tool and threat to lion conservation. Ultimately, this discussion accepts that regardless of the scales of analysis used, or the apparent practical and theoretical issues surrounding it, trophy hunting is here to stay. The practical, not theoretical, debate is thus not whether trophy hunting is a conservation tool, but whether it can be improved so that animals and humans can benefit as much as possible from this polarizing practice.”
