Listen to Derek Cattani talking about lions and trophy hunting!
Wednesday 29th April 2020
Derek speaks from the heart about the highly uncertain future of wild lions in Africa and the role that Christian, the captive born lion bought from Harrods in 1969, could still endure to assist the survival of his wild relatives. Derek muses on the fact that in 1969 there were maybe 250,000 wild lions roaming Africa. Compare that with today when we estimate to have no more than 15,000 scattered wild lions left with the population still declining steadily? Derek also mentions his concerns about continuing lion trophy hunting as a significant factor in their decline. Derek documented Christian’s story, from his early life in London, to his final adventures in Africa. Tags: lions, fundraising, trophy hunting, Derek Cattani, 26 challenge |
