"Daniel Wesangula
Nairobi

Over the past two decades, the worldwide population of lions has fallen from over 200,000 to approximately 35,000 presently.

In Kenya, they have reduced from 10,000 to 2,000 over the same period.


The once-feared king of the jungle is quickly being pushed out of his habitat.

With the population of humans growing faster than any other species of animal, the lion, like many other wild game, is slowly being driven out of existence.

The endless savannah that always seemed to meet the sky is no more.

Instead, there has been a steady influx of human beings in total disregard for the other occupants of the land, as metal and glass structures rapidly replace the acacia trees on the skyline.

The conflict between man and lion is not a recent phenomenon."

I hate to see this kind of thing happening

I do too. Humans, for all their "intelligence", don't seem to care for much else but themselves.
