 The Maasai have a complex relationship with lions; the lions kill the Maasai's livestock, yet the Maasai appreciate the lions for their beauty.Lions are threatened all over their East African habitat, particularly in Amboseli National Park, where Hazzah did a lot of her work.In 2007, Hazzah decided to attempt to persuade and teach the Maasai of the potential benefits of lion conservation, and her lessons proved to be popular among the Maasai.
