Know your #Lions, #Zimbabwe

Amidst the storm of the death of Cecil, an icon of Hwange National Park, Zimbabweans have been waking up to the notion that our wildlife has a lot more value than previously thought. 

With a pride of lions left behind, Cecil's death is now seen as a wake-up call for the nation and the world. The ruthlessness of hunting and poachers and the manner in which Cecil met his end shows how inhumane these actions generally turn out to be.

Hwange National Park was first documented as a Royal hunting ground for King Mzilikazi, evidence of it's diversity and abundant wildlife from before extensive human population explosion.
