A Tsau Holiday Update

By Kendra Sand | Volunteer Communications and Development Manager

Darting and Release of New Lioness

Dear Donors,

Happy holidays! We have some exciting new updates on behalf of the Tsau Lion Pride. The Tsau Pride is doing fantastically with the integration of a wild tawny lioness (Tswalu) with the two white lion males (Matsieng and Zukhara), and the new arrival of another wild tawny lioness that was donated to the project after her pride was shot and killed by unethical neighboring farmers. Thanks to the GlobalGiving donations, the following was possible:

Veterinary Care was provided to treat an injured white lion male, to fit new radio-collars to two lions, and a new lioness was darted and relocated to the Tsau Conservancy [R 33481.70, USD 3,219.36];
Lion Research Equipment was purchased: 3 x new radio tracking collars [R 5244, USD 504.22];
Electric Fencing Energizer was repaired to ensure the lions are protected from being trapped (snared/poached) [R 3867.29, USD 371.85]; and
Additional funds supplemented lion monitoring twice daily.

The remaining funds will continue to cover costs for management of the Tsau protected area (approximately 1,800 acres), veterinary emergencies, protection from trophy hunting threats, anti-poaching security, scientific research and daily monitoring. We are so grateful for your support, without which, the success of our project and the wellbeing of the lions would not be possible! If you are interested in supporting another WLT campaign over the holidays, please consider donating to our Eco-Cubs community conservation education effort.

Sincerely,

The White Lion Pride
