Lion Rapid Response Team | Best Job Ever

I’m a first responder for Lions in
Gorongosa National Park every day we’re
out there working with lions very slowly
just to see what she’s up to
Gorongosa National Park is undergoing a
remarkable recovery after two decades of
civil war but Lions are not coming back
as strong as we’d expected right now one
in three of our Lions are either killed
or maimed in purchase snares our job
here is to make sure that they do make a
strong comeback and recover to their
fullest potential
we have GPS collars on Lions so we can
track them every four hours and I’ll
scout sweep through their areas and
clean out snares and steel tor traps
that poaches a setting a rapid-response
veterinary unit is making sure that
every lion in our study area is in good
health if they are not then we are ready
to intervene if that means taking a wire
snare over foot or treating an infection
we can actually save the Lions life
even though lions live inside national
parks they still need to be protected of
course it’s our job and our passion but
every now and again you’re just hit by
this feeling of such privilege to be
with these animals in the wilderness
let’s go for it let’s try this
