ON THE EDGE OF EXTINCTION - B - THE LION (Panthera leo)

[peter]

This post, my friend, is the best one on the real meaning of conservation (and a lot more) I've read. Way better than the cynicsm I used in my lead post. I recommend you send it to a South-African newspaper, but any newspaper would do.

In today's world, nearly everything of value is only recognized if it can be expressed in money. The consequence is real value could vanish completely. And so could real life. Animals first. What is to follow?

I hope other posters will add a bit more, as this is a fundamental issue. Reply
