Lion Guardians - Swahili audio with English Subtitles

Lion Guardians
Sustainable coexistence between people and lions in Africa
A film funded by the St Andrews Prize for the Environment
Just over 60years ago there were estimated to be more than half a million lions in Africa. Today, fewer than 30,000 remain.
The Lion Guardians program was created to help stop the rapid decline of lions. Lion Guardians program was created to help stop the rapid decline of lions. Lion Guardians is a unique approach that relies on and preserves the cultural traditions of pastoralist communities, while at the same time actively engaging young warriors in protecting lions rather than killing them. A core belief of the program is that conservation of threatened carnivores should be in the hands of the communities who bear the costs of living with wildlife.
The Lion Guardians monitor lion movements, warn pastoralists when lions are in the area, recover lost livestock, reinforce livestock corrals and intervene stop lion hunting parties. Collectively these efforts lead to a reduction in the loss of livestock, which in turn enhances the livelihoods of the local people and builds tolerance for lions and other wildlife.
This film shows how enrolment in the Lion Guardians program becomes a life changing experience for the warriors involved and how the program can benefit your community.

I just came here to listen to Swahili. It's such a beautiful language.

[@juancarlosconsuegra3229]

It's quite easy to learn too. I was in Tanzania, Dar es Salaam for a month and learned so much swahili in that time, maybe 2 months more I'd be fluent.

[@LucasFaith]

This video was so well done and although sad, it really helped me practice my Swahili.

[@rafaeldeangelo739]

I'm impressed on how many arabic words are present in Swahili

[@nairobinyeusi5811]

@@michaelpardo8403 Kiswahili is a 90% Bantu language. You can't call English Arabic because it has borrowed Arabic words like Sugar or Alcohol. Same with Kiswahili

@@michaelpardo8403 Kiswahili has nothing to do with Islam. That Language originated from the Congo originally known as Kingozi.

Hell yeah everything should be read/spoken in Swahili!!

[@lauriegenie]

Kuvutia sana!

[@kdub1242]

Swahili has a clarity to its sound that gives the impression that it could be readily learned by foreigners, unless of course it is outweighed by a complicated grammar. (By contrast, my own language English is quite a mess.)

[@RevolutionOfThought1]

This was a beautiful video, Thank you

[@DieFlabbergast]

Hii ni nzuri sana!

[@judil3294]

I am just learning Swahili and it is very hard to understand with loud music pounding the ear at the same time. Would be much better without any music interfering.

It's fucking sad what humans do. And, for what?

[@whitesimurgh6363]

I'd say even remotely but related to Arabic!

[@ArgKaiser]

The two languages go way back. Swahili has been heavily influenced by Arabic since around the middle ages and to this day, Arabic words make up a majority of Swahili's vocabulary. But they are not related. Swahili is a Bantu language from the Niger-Congo family, while Arabic is a Semitic language from the Afroasiatic family.
