Lion Rapid Response Team | Best Job Ever

·Nov 11, 2024

[Music] I'm a first responder for lions in Gorong Goa National Park. Every day, we're out there working with lions. Very slowly, let's just see what she's up to.

Gorong Goa National Park is undergoing a remarkable recovery after two decades of civil war, but lions are not coming back as strong as we'd expected. Right now, one in three of our lions are either killed or maimed in poachers' snares. Our job here is to make sure that they do make a strong comeback and recover to their fullest potential.

We have GPS collars on lions so we can track them every 4 hours. I wonder where he is. Our scouts sweep through their areas and clean out snares and steel jaw traps that poachers are setting.

Our rapid response veterinary unit is making sure that every lion in our study area is in good health. If they are not, then we are ready to intervene. If that means taking a snare off a foot or treating an infection, we can actually save a lion's life.

Even though lions live inside national parks, they still need to be protected. Of course, it's our job and our passion, but every now and again, you're just hit by this feeling of such privilege to be with these animals in the [Music] wilderness.

Let's go for it! Let's try it! Let's do this!
