Transcript (English)

- [Shivani] I am a fourth generation Kenyan, and I always knew one day I wanted to be out working with wildlife. Kenya is not Kenya without lions. Lions are in serious trouble, and we're losing them throughout the country. It's a duty to protect what belongs to us. There, there's a lion. Conservation is about coexistence. The future of lions is very much in the community's hands. If you want wildlife to succeed, involve the people who are living with wildlife.

My name is Shivani Bhalla and I'm a wildlife conservationist.

Transcripción (Español)

- [Shivani] Soy keniana de cuarta generación, y siempre supe que algún día quería estar trabajando con la vida silvestre. Kenia no es Kenia sin leones. Los leones están en serios problemas, y los estamos perdiendo en todo el país. Es un deber proteger lo que nos pertenece. Ahí, hay un león. La conservación se trata de coexistencia. El futuro de los leones está en gran medida en manos de la comunidad. Si quieres que la vida silvestre tenga éxito, involucra a las personas que viven con la vida silvestre.

Mi nombre es Shivani Bhalla y soy conservacionista de vida silvestre.
