Kenya: Lighting the Way to Protect Kenya's Lions and the Livestock They Prey On

Richard Turere, a young Maasai, devised a lighting system to protect his family's livestock from lions. By using spare parts, he created blinking lights around the enclosure that mimicked human movement, deterring the lions from attacking. His invention was quickly adopted by other community members, helping to protect lions while preserving the livelihoods of pastoralists.
