Welcome to The Big Cat People podcast! We're Jonathan and Angela Scott, award-winning wildlife photographers, authors and conservationists. We have made our name documenting the lives of lions, leopards and cheetahs in the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya.
This episode, titled 'The Truth About Lions', marks the tenth and final episode of our Big Cat Diary Uncut series. Jonathan reflects on the changes in the Marsh Pride and shares insights in a recent documentary. The Lion: The Rise and Fall of the Marsh Pride aired in 2022, highlighting the iconic pride's story through extensive BBC Natural History Unit footage. It addresses the poisoning incident in 2015, the decline of herbivore populations, and challenges like the climate crisis, elephant population, fires, tourism oversupply, and conflicts with pastoralists. The Marsh Pride's territory and uncertain future are discussed, with hope resting on the newly signed Maasai Mara Management Plan for a brighter future.
This podcast series is a continuing effort to educate and inspire our audience. If you'd like to learn more about us, or to check out our latest collection of educational ebooks, please visit our website: www.bigcatpeople.com.
