One area of TheWildSource.com's website that is probably underutilized from a visitor perspective is all of the great Africa Safari News that we offer from camps in Africa and from bloggers and scientists from around the globe. We scour the Internet (daily when we can) and put together some of the more interesting stories from the wild places of Africa.

One of the more interesting - and timely - blog posts I was able to find today deals with a lion study in Tarangire National Park in Tanzania. Tarangire National Park happens to be the last stop on Bill's 2009 Tanzania Safari (which he is currently on). This study comprises approximately 3/4 of Tarangire National Park and there are between 180 and 200 lions within the study area. Over the past 5 years, the lion population is showing a declining trend. The blog post describes radio collaring and tracking the lions - how they collect their data. It gives good insight as to how the scientists conduct their research.
