In addition to the lion collar project update, we have a new comic in production called the “Lion Guardian educational comic", As with previous educational comics, we plan to have this edition distributed to the rural schools adjacent to the border of Hwange National Park. The comic will explain the role of the Lion Guardians - a team from local villages that have real time updates on the location of collared lions in the vicinity. This information is used to help direct children to their schools using the safest route, avoiding areas where lions are known to be roaming. The lion guardians accompany the children to and from schools.
The schools have been very receptive to receiving the free comic books and spending time in class to cover the content. A similar lion collar program is now being instituted in Kruger National Park in South Africa,
