Living With Lions - Amy Dickman

Amy Dickman understands what it is to live closely with lions. The biologist and conservationist with National Geographic's Big Cats Initiative has famously had a lion sleep on top of her tent while she was in it, so she can empathize with those like the Samburu who try to live closely with Africa's most feared predators. But in order to save the cats, she encourages herders to secure their homes and livestock with bomas to cut down on cats killing cows and herders getting heated over their loss.
