Roaring success: Qatar Airways brings captive lions back home to SA
The airline helped to relocate seven lions that have lived in captivity for several years in the Ukraine to South Africa where they will live out the rest of their lives in the wild.
Better known as an airline that transports thousands of people across the world, Qatar Airways through its cargo division has quietly been making a significant impact on environmental protection.
Earlier this year, the airline launched its Rewild the Planet initiative as part of its WeQare sustainability programme. Through the initiative, Qatar Airways has pledged to fly wild animals back to their natural habitats for free.
Qatar Airways Cargo Returns Seven Rescued Lions To Their Natural Habitat For Free
By helping the Ukraine-based NGO Warriors of Wildlife (WOW), Qatar Airways Cargo kept its promise to fly lions to their natural habitat for free. It took six months of hard work involving no less than a dozen departments and over 50 employees to ensure a successful operation.
On Thursday, April 29, the Kouga and Swinburne nature reserves in South Africa welcomed three lions, one lioness and three cubs. This involved a three-day trip from Kiev to Doha and Johannesburg so that the lions could walk on grass for the first time in their lives. So far, all are in good health.
