Lion Country
Written by Chris Weston, published by Evans Mitchell Books. Published to accompany the second series of ITV's series "Lion Country".
Lion Country follows the controversial work of the African Lion & Environmental Research Trust (ALERT) who are trying to ‘rewild' captive bred lions and their cubs.
Lion Country covers in detail all the characters involved, both lion and human, who will be familiar to all of you who have watched the series. Full of photos (to be honest, the photos aren't a patch on many coffee table books) the book goes into great details about the lions, their habits and how ALERT is trying to rewild them.
There is a debate around this 'rewildling' project that questions whether they are treating the sympton rather than the cause. Increasing pressure on traditional lion habitat throughout Africa as well as poaching and hunting issues have led to a dramatic decline in lion populations across Africa, and until these issues have been addresses, what is the point of training lions to live in the wild?
