Has trophy hunting taken the Lion's share?

From 2000 – 2010, Zambia exported 651 lion trophies, virtually all adult males. Now, Zambia’s Minister of Tourism and Art Sylvia Masebo has declared a moratorium on all big cat trophy hunting in Zambia.


LIONAID’s Dr. Pieter Kat talked to us about the situation of the lions and about their uncertain future. The conversation also touches on the delicate balance of ecosystems and habitats, educational programs and more.From wolfs to tigers, from forests to Lions – this is an important and informative piece of audio!

  1. Minimal populous within our huntable bears, this giant is situated only inside the Arctic Circle which is the greatest of all the bears. Having its elongated skull, modified for hunting shuts in outdoors holes, this bear arrives on land, however, many comfortable at sea. It's scientific title really means "maritime bear". Polar bear hides aren't presently importable directly into the united states . States due to CITES restrictions. Hunting of Polar bears remains significantly limited within the last few years, and becoming a present hunting supplier can be tough. Costs with this particular bear will run inside the $30,000 range, but sometimes be greater
