SELF-LESS COOPERATION FOR LION CONSERVATION By Katja Quasdorf, CEO Hideaways & Jenman African Safaris
I DON’T LIKE LOSING
More than 5 million km 2 of wilderness (10 % of the total area) have been lost in the past two decades.
Wilderness areas are vast tracts of untamed and unmodified land and sea
Today, only 23 % of land and 13 % of the ocean remain free from the harmful impacts of human activities
A global target of retaining 100% of all remaining wilderness is achievable
WE ARE LOSING 96 elephants are killed worldwide a day = ONE elephant every 15 minutes 80 lions were killed in snares from 2013 to 2017 in Africa Total of 405 collected snares in 2018 in Hwange National Park; 1600 illegal snares In Kruger National Park
