In the days that followed, the story of the lion and the poaching ring made various headlines. Paul’s photographs and eyewitness account brought attention to the ongoing issue of poaching, leading to an increase in support for conservation efforts.
Meanwhile, the lion is still alive and you might be able to see him if you visit Kafue National Park in Zambia. After he made his full recovery and was released back into the wild, the park honored him for his bravery and dedication to preserving the park’s natural beauty and wildlife.
