Why the King of Beasts is dying
The lion is the world's most iconic species. It has been an enduring symbol amongst thousands of cultures through the millennia. I challenge anyone reading this to not see a lion in some form today...

Hi Gary,
if you read the blog I've recently posted you will see we have collared pride male M109, "Madoda", who is one of the 2 named animals in this fundraising effort.
The younger male M102, "Madiba", has not been sighted since mid February and is likely to have left the park but I am still hopefully he may be tracked and collared but if not I will be collaring another lioness instead.
Many thanks!

Tracking Male Lions in Matusadona National Park, Zimbabwe using Satellite GPS Collars
View commentI can't quite believe the generosity here. THANK YOU. With 3 weeks to go and $900 I'm sure we'll reach the target and collars can be ordered as quickly as next month! If I'm fortune enough to see the amount go above the target this certainly isn't a problem!! Fuel costs stand at c. $600 a month (2 x 200l diesel drums plus transport via boat to the remote camp) so any excess will go towards these costs FYI! THANK YOU!!!

View commentHi Gary, so very grateful for your contribution. This will go such a long way if we reach our target. Thank you. Yes sadly Bumi also lost another pride male last year. Two males swam from Matusadona to Bumi around 2012/3 and overtook the pride but one of the males roamed into the neighbouring concession and was shot. Trophy hunting figures have dramatically improved this year in Zimbabwe but there is still a lot to be done and this is why research must be undertaken. Cheers again, Rae
