Lions in Africa and the Maasai Tribe Summary

Summary- Jessica presented on lions in Africa and the Maasai Tribe. This tribe has a long relationship with lions going back for hundreds of years. Today lions are an endangered species with only 20,000 left compared to over 1.2 million in the 1800s. There are many reasons for this decline including climate change, human settlement and hunting.

My opinion is that we should change people’s mindset to not think it is fashionable to wear lion skins. We also need to create more national parks to give those lions a place to live. I don’t believe this tribe is the real reason for the lion decline because they have been hunting for hundreds years. Instead modern population pressure has almost killed all the lions in just the last hundreds years.
