Lion Darting Success!

Despite the unseasonably high floods, we were able to dart and collar 2 lionesses to add to our Lion Alert Program. Secharo’s collar was replaced and a second, previously uncollared female, was collared as well. We are hoping to have another opportunity early in the year when the floods have receded significantly! Here are a few photos of the operation. We are happy to continue our tracking activities and enable us to provide alerts to the villagers.
