Mazingira yetu radio

Simba mjasiri or Brave Lion Song by Samchizi and Stitches brings out an element about Lions that's rarely communicated out there. Lions are Brave, loving and caring to their cubs and members of their pride. The New Lion Economy, unlocking the value of lions and their landscapes, Equilibrium Research report indicates that landscapes supporting lions, ''Lionscapes'', provide more ecosystem services, the benefits that humans receive from healthy ecosystems than the average in Africa.

Lions in Africa are facing a myriad of challenges like decline in their habitat range due to urbanization and agriculture, human wildlife conflict resulting to poisoning and a reduction in the number of prey.

Protection of Lion rangers from rapid urbanization and agriculture is important in safe guarding their existence, tourism should benefit the communities living with Lions to reduce the hostility around them and education to the younger generation should be emphasized to help them understand the social-cultural value of Lions to their communities.
