Darkness wraps around the compound, but those inside the lodgings are wide awake. Purity Lakara, along with the other seven members of Team Lioness, is preparing for a long day in the savannah. Her job and that of her co-workers is to serve on the front line against poachers in their territory, the traditional Maasai lands surrounding the Amboseli National Park in Kenya.
