Special Lion Kids Camp
Reunion
This month we held a very special edition of our Lion Kids Camp. We brought together 122 Kenyan children who had all previously participated in a Lion Kids Camp. Everyone was so excited to see each other and reunite for four days of conservation education, games, career advice, and much more. The children joined us from 11 schools spread across three counties. Three of our sponsored students – Painoti, Saniki and Joy, pictured above – were in attendance. To date, we have held 4 camps in Samburu and Laikipia here in northern Kenya. These children have bright futures ahead of them and we feel privileged to be part of it.

 Celebrating Lions Worldwide
August 10th marked World Lion Day and to celebrate, we went ‘Running For Lions’. Each staff member ran in a race around camp in honor of his or her favorite lion – and we compiled this video. Meanwhile, our super supporter Brian Khepri ran for 34 hoursstraight in Arizona – and raised more than $2,000 for conservation.

 Lions and Technology
Paul recently talked with Mongabay, the environmental news site, to discuss the use of technology in lion conservation. In this interview, he describes how Ewaso Lions uses low- and hi-tech solutions to human-wildlife conflict. From mobile phones to developing new predator deterrent systems, we are continuously exploring how technology can make conservation more impactful and efficient.

 Photo of the Month
One morning, we heard the wild dogs from camp. Letoiye searched for them and was joined by Kura, our camp dog. Here, the two of them scan the landscape for Kura’s wild cousins.
