Category: Uncategorized | Date: Mar 05 2009 | By: lionguardians

We are very pleased to announce that Living with Lions, our umbrella organisation has a new look website, full of information about the project and the Lion Guardians. The address is http://www.livingwithlions.org.

Take a look and read about all the Living with Lions projects in Kenya, the Living with Lions team and how we monitor and conserve lions in Kenya. Have a look at our photos and videos and listen to interviews with the Lion Guardians.

The site has information about the conservation crisis of lions in unprotected areas in Africa, as well as news about lion poisoning. It tells you how and why we do what we do, and how you can help!

It also features the Mara Predator Project’s Lion ID database, which helps you to identify lions that you may have seen if you have visited the Masai Mara. You can get involved yourself by trying to identify lions or sending us in your photos of lions for us to identify. Check it out: http://www.livingwithlions.org/mara

We hope you like the site! If you do, tell your friends!

New site tracks lion for us!

Category: Meet the lions, lion research fieldwork | Date: Jul 09 2008 | By: lionguardians

We are very excited about a new website that has just been launched by the Kilimanjaro Lion Conservation Project, which shows exactly where one of our collared lions Ndelie has been in the previous few days.

Ndelie’s collar transmits GPS signals to a satellite, which then sends this information on his location to the site! You can look at the interactive map to see where he has been, and you can also see where our camp is, and a few of the Lion Guardians’ bomas. Please take a look and explore the new site. It’s really exciting! Here is the link:

This is the lion Ndelie, with Lion Guardian Melubo, when he was collared. His name means cooking pot in Maasai. He is called this because when the Lion Guardians helped to collar him they thought his paws were as large as cooking pots!
