Kilimanjaro's lions face extinction
Mount Kilimanjaro's lions face extinction at the spear point of Maasai cattle herders, warn conservation experts. Once common in rural Kenya, fewer than 150 lions now roam the eco-tourism haven in and around Amboseli National Park, just northwest of Tanzania's famous mountain. Since 2003, local cattle herders have killed 63 lions, often in retaliation for lost livestock, according to National Geographic Society conservationists.
