    I would like to make a donation to the Lion Guardians for a Christmas gift for a friend. I would like to personalize the card/certificate for my friend. Is there a picture of the lions or guardians on the certificate? When would I receive this? I know time to do this is short, so I guess I need to hear back from you as soon as possible, please!!! Thanks for your help!

    Hi Lynne! You can see a small version of the certificate here: http://lionguardians.wildlifedirect.org/2008/11/26/get-your-christmas-presents-here/. It has photos of the Guardians and one of our lovely lions!

    Once you’ve made your donation, if you let me know who the certificate is for I can personalise it and it will be in your inbox as soon as I see the donation on the sidebar, for you to forward on to your friend, or print out and give to them. Thank you and Happy Christmas!

    Hi,
    I used to research lions in Botswana.
    Recently I gave a talk at a school in London and the kids want to become involved in a project for an extended period. I thought the Lion Guardians would be ideal. Human predator and poisoning is a critical issue for all wild lion populations and your program so vividly brings this into focus and offers a regionally specific resolution.
    I will be going back to the school in early September so will be in touch about how best to proceed.

    Hi Kate,
    Thanks very much for your comment and your idea for the children to help the Lion Guardians project. This sounds very exciting. Perhaps the children could sponsor one of our Lion Guardians for a period of time? Thanks again, we shall be in touch.
    Best wishes from all at the Lion Guardians.
