There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

You cant just plumb lions down randomly as you may be triggering takeovers, conflicts and even more death. So they seek out areas that still has enough space to house them.
Which is ussually becouse they lost their resident male lions.
Well yea, its intervening in nature, i mean, you drop him/them in some area, they will definetly influence lion dynamics there, they might kill other lions there because humans put them there.
But if they are moving them that far north in area where there is pretty much no lions, because of hostile human activity , then they need to secure safety for them, i mean what they expect what will happen.
Other solution is just to leave them where they are , but they need to fix fences that they cant escape out of Kruger anymore, and leave them to destiny.
Lions who are relocated are those who constantly find way to escape Kruger, if they fix fences, problem solved.
Looks like bad fence state is big problem in Kruger.
