The challenging and defiant look of a lioness defending her kill.
Taken in the Serengeti National Park when the wildebeest migration was at its peak, we came across this young lioness just as she pounced on a fully-grown adult wildebeest. Unfortunately, her inexperience meant that the kill was not completely clean, and her breakfast was fresh as can be. As we re-angled the vehicle, she put her paw possessively over the wildebeest and gave us this intense stare. The beads of blood covering her face and muzzle make for a powerful image, reminding us that although nature is beautiful, it is also brutal.

Why Lewa Wildlife Conservancy?
It's personal...
Lewa Wildlife Conservancy is a private reserve in the centre of Kenya. Originally founded as a rhino sanctuary in 1983, Lewa's rhino population has grown from 15 founding individuals to over 169 rhinos today. Lewa now holds 14% of Kenya's rhino population and is a leading pioneer in rhino conservation. By providing a suitable and safe habitat for threatened wildlife, Lewa has also enabled other key African species to thrive, including the critically endangered Grevy's zebra, elephants, lions, wild dogs, cheetah, the critically endangered Pancake tortoise and many more...
I have a masters in Wildlife Conservation and my thesis investigated black rhinos. I spent 7 months researching the black rhino population on Lewa Wildlife Conservancy and I worked with some of the most inspiring, passionate and amazing people that I have ever met. I have witnessed first-hand the incredible work that is conducted on Lewa: vital scientific research, cutting-edge anti-poaching strategies, working closely with the local communities and providing educational outreach programmes to the surrounding schools. Lewa is truly a catalyst for conservation.
20% of all profits will be donated to the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy, specifically to the Research & Monitoring Department - my home for seven months, and a department whose work is vital for the conservation of several critically endangered species across the landscape.
