Eco-system
Lion Eco-system is the wild animals, and the environment that it lives in, and further includes human to coexist in the cycle of that environment. There are not many areas such as Kenya, where people live closely with nature without interfering with the wild animalfs ecology.

Carnivorous animals catch herbivorous animals, and herbivorous animals eat plants, and the Maasai burns off a field for grazing so that plants will sprout. It was not intended for animal conservation, however it is built into the natural cycle.

There are abundance of herbivorous animals in Koyaki Lemek Ranch, and as carnivores catch them, the balance of nature is kept. Unconsiously the Koiyaki Lemek Maasai members are helping the herbivorous animals by burning off fields for cattle grazing.
