Here is the Ark, the biosphere, the protected home, the choice environment, the prison.
Here the visitor to Tanzania can see the zebra, the elephant, the lion, and all the others close up and personal... but at what price?
The Lions have become weakened through in-breeding. The once large herd of black rhino has dwindled. All the protection that can be given has been given, and still all around is a sadness of loss.
Here is the ideal within the ideal. Here is the dream within a dream. Here is a nightmare that may be the future... or the wakeup call for the future.
Visit this lovely place now. It may not outlast the year. Visit this lovely place now. With diligent help from all of us, it may be the Ark that will survive the floods of destruction elsewhere.
You must choose.
Karibu Ngorongoro.
