Malawi Completes Lions Translocation Drive

In Malawi, the conservation non-profit organization African Parks has completed the translocation of 12 lions into two Malawi national parks under its management. The lions were flown into Malawi from South Africa with support from international animal welfare charities, Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio, and the Lion Recovery Fund. Park officials say the exercise aims to help revive the parks’ predator population. Lameck Masina reports for VOA on the arrival and release of the lions.
