I guess I'm hoping (perhaps unrealistically and definitely without any knowledge to have such bold hopes) that vets in Africa can come up with some way to immunize for some viral infections or whatever as one thing for sure, the industrialized nations are going to keep going on their destruction path without any care for Africa so some proactive planning on those conditions that have any chance of being planned for might be a good thing. ex) canine distemper which the nat geo article said wiped out 30% of lions in Serengeti in 1994 and similar numbers in Ngorongoro Crater in 2001, i.e., give them a better chance to adapt to changing conditions Thank you Seamus for posting this.
