Through contacts with conservationists and experts in Tanzania and Kenya, he was deeply aware that the future of Africa's wildlife is not optimistic. Roberts said: 'when I first came to Africa, I was in my 20s and there were about 200000 wild lions. Now I'm 50 years old, there are only 20000 wild lions left, down 90%. This should be seen as a worldwide problem. '
More worrisome is the sharp decline in the number of African elephants, black rhinoceros and cheetahs. As traditional medicine, ivory and rhinoceros horn are expensive and in high demand. These measures of poaching and incarceration are largely ineffective because of the high rates of return involved in the current war. 'he said.
Mr Roberts hopes the photos will arouse people's attention to grassland wildlife and urge people to take action to protect them.
