Lion Guardians - a participatory approach in Kenyan Maasailand.
In collaboration with the local communities of Mbirikani ranch, the Living with Lions project, and the Maasailand Preservation Trust a programme called “Lion Guardians” was initiated in October 2006.
The overall idea was generated by Maasai warriors (murrans) and elders through various discussion groups in the past two years on Mbirikani Group Ranch. The Lion Guardian’s programme attempts to reduce the pressure on lions by employing their greatest enemy to conserve them rather than kill them. The Lion Guardians have two major duties:
1) to monitor lions and other carnivore movements so to protect them
2) aid their communities in various ways.
The programme has been very successful so far.

This documentary, created by FLL, shows two lion guardians, Olubi and Melubo who both have killed lions and participated in many traditional lion hunts and follows their everyday activities. Leela Hazzah, a carnivore conservationist, explains the background and purpose of the programme. (10 min, 45 mb).

This 10 minute documentary describes the work of the Kilimanjaro Lion Conservation Project. FLL were commissioned by the project to create a short film that could be given to potential funders and interested members of the public. One of the project biologists (Seamus Maclennan) was chosen to narrate the film, which gives it the "personal" feel that the creative brief required.

The particular challenges of this assignment were that the finished product had to be compact (less than 15 minutes) and yet convey the complexities of lion conservation and research in east Africa. In addition, all filming (and much of the editing) was done in very remote locations, often without access to electricity.

About KLCP

The Kilimanjaro Lion Conservation Project was established in March 2004 in Maasailand, southern Kenya. Local conservationists believed that lions were being killed at unprecedented (and unsustainable) levels, and that research into the lion-killing was urgently needed. Dr Laurence Frank of the University of California (Berkeley) was asked to head a research team based on a Maasai group ranch near Amboseli National Park. Funding was sourced for the group to begin researching livestock-lion conflict in the area.

The short-term goals of the project are to quantify the depredation of Maasai livestock by large carnivores, and to understand the motivations of people in the area who continue to kill lions. An exciting multi-disciplinary approach is being used, incorporating sociology, economics and biology. In the longer term, the project hopes to find solutions to the current crisis in which Africa is rapidly losing the last of her lions.

Domestic violence is widely acknowledged as a serious problem. However, few people are aware that the incidence of violence in lesbian relationships is as frequent as in heterosexual relationships. Various research indicates the occurrence of inter-partner violence in one out of every four or five lesbian couples. In late 2006 COC Nijmegen invited us to make a documentary about violence in lesbian relationships. To provide the material for the film we interviewed five people. Two were victims of violence in lesbian relationships, one is a researcher and two are professionals who work in this field. Lisette works in a refugee shelter and Sandra treats perpetrators of violence who have come into conflict with the law, or have been convicted.

The documentary highlights two themes, the difficulties that professionals have with recognising violence in lesbian relationships and the difficulty that victims have in accessing healthcare and legal support. The documentary was first distributed on a small scale, but interest has snowballed and now there are two organisations that use the documentary as a tool to train professionals on a national level in Holland.
Because of privacy reasons, we will not show the entire interviews with the victims, online.

In 2007 Youth Incentives, together with partners in six countries, undertakes the RAP-song project: young people from all over the world are making a RAP-song of issues concerning their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights. The first RAP-song has been realised in the Philippines in February 2007
