A lion is seen passing in front of a zebra in Kenyas national park Masai Mara in this March 2004 file photo. Even the King of the Jungle needs a hand staying alive on his own turf. That is what the government of Kenya thinks as far as the majestic African lion, a symbol of the continent and one of its most feared predators, is concerned. The Kenya Wildlife Service is pushing the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES), to give the African lion, panthera leo, its most protected status. Current conservative estimates place the African lion population at 23, 000, Kenya wrote in its proposal. Picture taken on March 2004.

23"x19" (58x48cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 16x12 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 23x19 inches (584x482mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken in March 2004 by Radu Sigheti for Reuters Images, a lion is captured passing gracefully in front of a zebra within Kenya's renowned national park, Masai Mara. The image beautifully portrays the delicate balance between predator and prey in the African wilderness. However, even the mighty King of the Jungle requires assistance to survive on its own turf. Recognizing the significance of the majestic African lion as both a symbol of the continent and one of its most feared predators, the government of Kenya has urged for stronger protection measures through their proposal to the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES). According to conservative estimates provided by Kenya Wildlife Service, there are currently only 23,000 African lions left. This alarming figure highlights an urgent need for action to safeguard these iconic creatures from further decline. The proposal seeks to elevate panthera leo -the scientific name for African lions- to its highest protected status under CITES regulations. By doing so, it aims to ensure stricter controls on international trade and discourage illegal activities that threaten their survival. As we admire this remarkable photograph frozen in time from over a decade ago, let us reflect upon our responsibility towards preserving not just individual species but also entire ecosystems. Only through collective efforts can we secure a future where magnificent scenes like this continue enchanting generations yet unborn.
