Oh
I was born and raised in Nairobi I’m a
fourth generation Kenyan and I always
loved seeing animals but at that time I
didn’t know animals were threatening I
run a lion conservation project called
Owosso Lions in Samburu in northern
Kenya Kenya is not Kenya without lions
lion conservation is about coexistence
how lions and people live together
how many tracks those track track so
fresh I really I think
easy they’re still walking hard he
settled down just in this logo of a hand
there’s
food available for lions has really gone
down so what they tend to do then is go
after something that’s easier livestock
the local people want to retaliate my
right-hand man
is a young sambar warrior called Jana
Rhea these ones I think the ones kill
coats at maluca and they’ve injured
they’ve got scratches he said to me one
day why are there no warriors working in
conservation in this area there’s no one
who knows this landscape better than
assembly warrior they need to be
involved in conservation so he started
this program which is known as warrior
watch we now have 13 warriors working
with us
they engage with the elders they make
sure that if lions are there the herd is
nerve
they try and come up with ways of
preventing lions from preying on
livestock in the first place the future
of lions is very much in the community’s
hands through the Warriors the word is
spreading why it’s important to continue
to have Lions in this area
we are now monitoring the highest number
of lions that Samburu has seen in the
last 12 years
when I first set up our small camp it
was supposed to be for three weeks Here
I am seven years later still in the same
camp I love my life in Samburu this is
where I’m happiest I really feel this is
where I belong
