Fuzzy, cute, desperately-in-need of conservation, non-endangered animal found
Category: Lion-watching, foolishness | Date: May 31 2008 | By: Seamus
If you are wondering what the bizarre title of this post is about, have a look at the discussion section of my last post (on the 29th). I think the outcome of the discussion was that indviduals will tend to contribute towards conservation that they feel a personal connection with, whereas non-governmental organisations have a responsibility to invest in conservation that is somewhat more strategic.
I somehow found the time yesterday to get out and radio-track, through some landcruiser-destroying thorn scrub. Below is a photo of one of our collared lions, Kasaiyo. If it seems as if there were a lot of thorn trees hindering my access to him, then its because there were… this is not an unusual occurence around here. There are another two lions in this photo. I can’t see them either.

Seamus has raised an interesting point. When does the conservation of the whole become more important than that of the individual? I cannot post pictures in the “comment” box, so I have attempted to explore this question on my own blog, which can be found as a hot link on my web site at http://www.jerryhaigh.com. In the first posting, I tell the story of how veterinary students treated an injured lion in Uganda. If you are interested and have time, take a look at today’s posting titled “Treating The Individual Lion”. There are one or two other examples that I will add later, either today, or maybe in the next couple. My next example concerns a pack of wild dogs with a serious problem.
