Prevention and protection policies against lions’ haunters

Lions have been considered one of the most dangerous, beautiful and strength creatures around the world. However these animals are fast becoming endangered species due to the fact that human beings perceive the practice of haunting lions as a lucrative industry in which pain is the main factor. Although, human conscience has increased to support prevention policies against this situation, this practice is still considered legal in some areas of our planet.

It is evident that lions contribute to biodiversity of a specific area in a continent, but to some tribes big cats are undeniable enemies of nature and they need to be killed to preserve families, traditions and culture.  In recent years the Maasai, a tribe affected by this situation, adopted a new perspective to protect lions called: Lion Guardians in which they defend lions’ lives against haunters. These guardians explain the importance of preserving lions in order to contribute to increase culture and tourism. But, what about effective policies to decrease and prevent the number of lions killed?

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has classified the African lion as vulnerable. Taking into account this information, communities for preservation of animal natural environment have been implemented some strategies to raise awareness in which all societies around the world take part of this problematic supporting this cause. Do we need to destroy animals to experiment happiness and joyful? This question may incorporate a large range of answers that some governments are not able to answer due to the fact that they allow the development of these inhuman practices.

Briefly, haunting lions have gaining recognition through human behaviors perceiving this practice as a natural tradition in human perceptions. However, this tradition is changing. Since the implementation of some prevention policies, African tribes have adopted an ideal position being the guardians of these dangerous and beautiful creatures in order to preserve culture, lives and traditions following the natural order.
