Dear readers,

Conservationists have warned that lions may become extinct in Kenya within the next 20 years unless urgent action is taken to save them.
Kenya is annually losing an average of 100 of its 2,000 lions due to growing human settlements, increasing farming, climate change and disease, according to the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
And “….there are ever more efficient ways, including poisoning, to kill lions,” explains Dr. Laurence Frank.
Read the full article here.
But is it really 20 years or 10 years and markedly, Furadan is a key player in the catastrophic die out of the lions and other big cats. Read it all in “Kenya’s lions could vanish within 10 years“, from The NewScientist.

Thank you Yolanda.The little that everyone does should save the situation for the noble people who care. I have just updated the post and Lawrence downgrades the 20 years to actually 10!
