I am not sure how you are going to cooperate with the inhabitants here.  If you concede some lands today, they will just take more lands in a few months.  The corruption within governments all around the world are simply too deep.  The mindset of people in these regions are not like ours.  Would you allow rats to live in your home because they were there first?  You wouldn't... this is exactly the same thing.  If you've ever traveled to these regions animals are just seen differently.  They are seen like Pit Bulls in the south.  If they tear each other apart or live in horrible conditions that's what they are there for.

Agree my friend, so very true. The Reserve is doomed. The Triangle will be a safe haven for the animals in the future than God, as long as the people that run the Triangle continue to run it like today. Most of the Conservancies will be for the most part safe. They will change back and forth as they are privately owned land and the land owners have final say there but the animals should mostly be ok there. The Reserce is and will be a cesspool. They are planning to raise prices substantially there for tourism and push out all the smaller, great lodges. They want to cater to the wealthy and from what I gather the rich people are content with seeing the "big 5" and not so much lion and big cat enthusiasts so this will hurt lions in the end. I don't like the vision for the Reserve of the future. Reply
