14. India's Wandering Lions
Sun May 1, 2016, 01:45 PM

Just watched this online (pbs.org) last night! It is a great documentary and tells how a mere 20 of these particular lions were left in 1920.

>>As India’s population booms, her legendary wildlife has been squeezed almost out of existence. But the commitment of the Indian people to preserve their wildlife is surprising – leading even to bringing back what has been lost. Against a backdrop of teak forest, farmland and villages, this film explores the extraordinary story of Asia’s last lions and their recovery from near extinction.

The people in India go to great lengths to be certain that these precious lions will continue to thrive and not go extinct. Lets hope that South Africa does the same!
