Marsh pride of lions poisoned, sad day for the Mara Reserve and surrounding conservancies

HerdTracker update 07 Dec 2015

It is with sadness that we can confirm that some of the lions we spend time with last October during our #MaraLive broadcast are now dead, poisoned by cattle herders aparently taking refenge on cattle being killed by lions recently.  How ficcle the relatioship between cattle herders and conservationists.  If we cannot look after The Marsh Pride how will we look after lions that are in remote areas and who are not famous?
