More Photos of Uni’s Cubs and A Thank You!
Category: Donors | Date: Mar 13 2009 | By: ewasolions
Sauwah, thank you so much for your donation and your continued support!
Uni’s 4 little cubs are definitely very cute and the photo in my previous blog entry was a male cub. Two of the cubs are male and 2 are female. When they are very young, they do have blue/grey eyes.
To answer your question Sauwah, my project relies on funding from private donors such as what comes through WildlifeDirect. I also have a few grants from zoos in the US who fund my fieldwork for a limited period. For example, I was given funds for fuel for lion monitoring for 6 months. When the 6 months are over, I need to write another grant for funds to cover the next period. I sometimes receive the funds, but also get turned down and I need to try again! I spend a lot of time writing funding applications as I am sure my other fellow bloggers do.
Below are a few more photos of Uni’s cubs -taken last week in Samburu National Reserve.

Ewaso Lions is a project based in the Samburu region. I am working with the local people to enhance co-existence between lions and communities in this stunning arid landscape in Northern Kenya.

you are so welcome! wish i could give more. i bet it’s pain in the ass to fill up all the damn paperwork for grants. maybe you should train one of your helpers to do it.
cute pictures. wonder you can put some of your best for sale! i know the Masai women do great jewelry work, what about the women in samburu? wonder they can sew up some good pieces of fabric with lions on them for sale?

Yes Sauwah, the Samburu women also do some great jewellery work like the Maasai do. There are a few differences in styles and also colours used, but brilliant work overall. Good idea to see if I can work with them to sell!
