Big 5s
Peter Lindsey
Director, Lion Recovery Fund
“I love lions. Lions are what I spend my waking hours thinking about, worrying about and trying to conserve.
One thing that grabs me about them is how amazing it is that such a majestic, wild and terrifying creature still roams the planet. How privileged we are.
Lions are the symbol of Africa’s wilderness. They are the consummate umbrella species: if we can protect savannah ecosystems sufficiently to support lion populations, other species will also thrive.
Last night, I was woken by lions roaring nearby. No matter how many times I have heard the sound, it still instils a sense of wonder, happiness and even a latent sense of fear.”
