Here is another article you should look at from the New York Times that I found yesterday. Not only is this a serious issue in Tanzania and in the world of conservation in general, but a certain professor from Tanzania is quoted at the end of the article! (Kissui is the Wildlife Management professor and he is the one who does lion research in Tarangire and we all wish he could be our uncle because he is so great!) This goes to show how awesome our professors here are...
