WHEN THE LAST LION ROARS - SARA EVANS KARTONIER...

The illegal killing of Cecil - a famous and magnificent black-maned Zimbabwean lion - by an
American big-game hunter in 2015 sparked international outrage. More significantly  it drew the
world's attention to the devastating plight of Africa's lions. A century ago  there were more
than 200 000 wild lions living in Africa. Today  with that population reduced by more than 90
per cent  many experts believe that without effective conservation plans  Africa's remaining
wild lions could be completely wiped out by the mid-half of this century. When the Last Lion
Roars explores the historic rise and fall of the lion as a global species  and examines the
reasons behind its catastrophic decline. Interwoven with vivid personal encounters of Africa's
last lions  Sara Evans questions what is being done to reverse (or at least stem) this
population collapse  and she considers the importance of human responsibility in this decline
and  more crucially  in their conservation. From the Lion Guardians in Kenya to the Living
Walls of Tanzania  and the Hwange Lion Research Project in Zimbabwe  Sara meets both lions and
their champions  people who are fighting to bring this iconic species back from the brink of
extinction.
