On 29th June Lionaid spent a good day in the Palace of Westminster (aka the UK Houses of Parliament) to add LionAid weight to the need to end trophy hunting imports into the UK.

A meeting was organized by Eduardo Goncalves and the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on banning trophy hunting. It consisted of two events – selected people were asked to talk to camera for a time in a separate room about the issues. Then came a reception with more speakers. Those invited to speak to camera were LionAid’s Pieter Kat, Belgian MP Kris Verduyckt (who introduced a Bill in Belgian Parliament to ban trophy hunting imports that has every possibility of going forward), former Botswana President Ian Khama, Maasai Elder Boniface Mpario, Sir Roger Gale MP (Chair of the APPG) and exceptional SA wildlife journalist Adam Cruise.
