Freda s solicitor Belinda Poulter of Crombie Wilkinson in York said Freda especially wanted to find a charity that would take in her animals following her death and so chose the Cinnamon Trust which is based in Cornwall but has volunteers across the country.
Decade of wonderful lion photography celebrated in new book
December 14, 2020
Wildlife photographer George Logan has launched a new book of stunning photography to support and raise awareness for Africa’s dwindling’s lion population.The hardback coffee table book, entitled ‘Lion: Pride Before The Fall’, features images of lions in the wilds of Africa. These magnificent creatures have undergone a catastrophic decline on the continent over the last few decades and are on the brink of extinction in all but the largest and best-managed protected areas – they have vanished from 95% of the African land that they previously prowled.
‘When the male lion looks straight at you, you know he really means it,’ says Logan. “It’s a primeval stare that penetrates, unnervingly, right through to your core.’
