However, between 2006 and 2015 there have been 15 births of White Lions in the Timbavati-Umbabat-Klaserie Private Nature Reserves, and 2 births of white cubs in central Kruger National Park. There are currently less than 13 White Lions living in the wild. Interestingly, this coincided with our introduction of Marah and her cubs into free-roaming bushveld conditions in the heart of their endemic territories.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><h4 class=\"clearfix edgtf-title-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"edgtf-accordion-mark edgtf-left-mark\">\n\t\t<span class=\"edgtf-accordion-mark-icon\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"icon_plus\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"edgtf-tab-title\">\n\t\t<span class=\"edgtf-tab-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t18.

In reality, there are very few ecosystems today that are not, in some way, managed. This applies to the Associated Private Nature Reserves (APNR) bordering the Kruger National Park, which have intervened in the natural system in many ways, including through firebreaks, road and other infrastructure as well as the commercial trophy hunting of lions and other members of the so-called Big Five over several decades. Even the Kruger National Park itself, in spite of being greater than 20 000km2, is not an entirely self-contained system in nature. It is managed: ie. vegetation is burnt on a rotational basis; species are translocated to and from the national park, tarred roads and tourist camps have been constructed, and it is fenced without full consideration for the Source waters. In this way, and others, Nature\u2019s balance has been disturbed through human intervention, and our role is to responsibly restore it.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><h4 class=\"clearfix edgtf-title-holder\">\n\t<span class=\"edgtf-accordion-mark edgtf-left-mark\">\n\t\t<span class=\"edgtf-accordion-mark-icon\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"icon_plus\"><\/span>\n\t\t\t<span class=\"icon_minus-06\"><\/span>\n\t\t<\/span>\n\t<\/span>\n\t<span class=\"edgtf-tab-title\">\n\t\t<span class=\"edgtf-tab-title-inner\">\n\t\t\t21.

White lions need to be reclassified on the <em>Schedule of Threatened &amp; Protected Animals of National Importance<\/em>, and we need to research just how often this white gene occurs in the Greater Timbavati \/ Kruger Park Region of UNESCO\u2019s Kruger-to-Canyons Biosphere.
