§In this article, a traditional African tribe’s customs about lion hunting are altered as they join a conservation group to monitor and preserve lions numbers, as the tribe faces an unprecedented decrease in the population of lions.

§For this tribe, there is a clear shift from performing traditional behaviours to gaining new understandings of the significance of preservation in terms of their own sustainability.
