How can you help protect lions?
Stop canned hunting or if you know someone who does do it, try to persuade that person not to do
it.
Stop using products made from animal bones.
Farmers can put fencing up or secure fencing that is already there.
Nikela people realised that lions associated humans with lights. Lions try to avoid humans. Hanging
lights onto the boma, fence or kraal will give the lions the impression that humans are patrolling in
the area and they will keep away.
Be a defender for wildlife.
You can make donations to a reputable organisation but be sure it is not a scam.
Put photos of these hunters on the internet to shame them.
