Yesterday we gave you the link to listen to the first of two programs about Living with Lions and lion conservation in Kenya, on Alex Chadwick’s Day to Day program on NPR. Here is the link to the second of the programs which is all about us – the Lion Guardians and our lion conservation…
Maasai
We looked for lion cubs and found a leopard! And we have camera trap photos!
The search for Nemasi’s cubs continues…… Just by the edge of the thick lava forest we found a young eland that had been killed the previous day by what looked like young lions (from the tracks). We were very excited! But as we had no luck seeing the very secretive lions previously we decided to ask…
Lion Guardians on NPR Day to Day program today!
Yesterday and today the work of Living with Lions features on Alex Chadwick’s Day to Day radio program, which airs in the US. Alex came to visit us back in June and we told him all about the critical decline in lion populations outside national parks in Kenya and showed him what Living with Lions…
The search for the lion cubs continues…
We are still searching hard for Nemasi, the female collared lion, to see whether she has three cubs with her, or whether the young lion that was found dead might be one of her cubs. We had found her signal in the morning, and seen her and a collared male lion, but did not see…
Searching for the answer â?? was the dead lion Nemasiâ??s cub?
Yesterday we went with Lion Guardian Solonka to look for Nemasi and her cubs, to try to find out whether she still has all three with her, or whether perhaps the dead lion that was found was one of her cubs. We listened for Nemasi’s collar, first from this high point, where we found no…
Lion found dead â?? we are hoping it isnâ??t one of Nemasiâ??s cubs

He reported it to the Maasailand Preservation Trust who alerted us to investigate more. We are happy that the community is taking the initiative to report such things. It shows…

Another elephant speared
Barely two months after a female elephant was found speared and had to be put down because of her injuries, another female elephant has had to be taken away from her misery. She had a very badly swollen front foot that had rotten up to the bone. We are told she had been speared because…
100 goats lost in the bush
Lion Guardian Mokoi has again saved the day in his local community by helping track and find over 100 lost sheep and goats. The animals had wandered off in search of pasture and water, which is becoming scarcer every day, and the local people were very worried they would get attacked by lions or hyenas.…
Another cow killed â?? we have a suspect
Our Lion Guardian in Ol Donyo Wuas area, Solonka, has reported that a cow has been killed by lions, just 10 kms south of our camp. Solonka went to the site to verify the claim and try to find out which lion was responsible for the kill. Although our male lion Lentim’s signal was not…
