*No intervention at all unless human cause.
*Fast Intervention like in the Masai Mara.
*Or other policy like wait until a week or days if the lion/leopard survive in that time then intervene and treat the said injury.

What you guys think would be the best in Greater Kruger as lion/leopard population is decreasing in the Greater Kruger especially in the Northen part of the Kruger?

Agreeing with what others have said as well, I believe the best way to approach nature is to allow it to run it's course in the same way it would if we (humans) were not present at all. If humans cause an injury that can be treated, then I believe we should intervene in those instances, but only if/when it can be done with minimal harm to the animal. But, animal on animal violence is best left to nature to sort out. Diseases such as the current scourge, TB, which was introduced by people, should be researched until we are able to develop a cure for it, as it, too, was caused by us. Reply
