Lion Guardians

Category: Community work, Lion Guardian reports | Date: Jun 30 2008 | By: lionguardians

As always we held our end of month meeting where Lion Guardians from all parts of the ranch come together to discuss what has happened in their areas over the month.

Most of the Guardians reported less lion sightings, except for Melubo and Kapande who have both been able to track lions in their areas and report their locations to herders so as to avoid conflict between the livestock and lions.

We are glad to report that the cheetahs that were a menace for the first two weeks of this month seem to have reduced their attacks on livestock, which must be at least in part due to Olubi’s help advising the community on better herding practices. We are happy to say that this has meant that the community did not take any action against the cheetahs.
