Panthera Leo Gene Preservation Program:
As far back as 2002, Zwahili made the decision to re-introduce as many of the original mammal and plant species as possible. One of these was the re-establishment of Lion. Here at Zwahili we have decided to do something, as the wrong thing to do, would be to do nothing. Join us in preserving and securing this specie for future generations and especially for our childrens children. Let us seek to recover the gene of the Transvaal Lion.
