You can't tell a conservationist by the colour of their skin,
You can't tell a conservationist by the hat they wear,
You can't tell a conservationist by what comes out of their mouth,
You can't tell a conservationist by their age,
And you certainly can't tell a conservationist by their sex,
The fact that they belong to a conservation group,
How much money they earn?
Or how much land they own.
No, you can't tell a conservationist by any of these things,
There are however a few things that can give them away,
Like the number of trees on any property they own,
Like the number of birds nesting in those trees,
Like the amount of plastic, they leave unsorted,
Like how much food they waste,
Like how many trips they make to the supermarket,
Like the toys they make for their children,
Like how much wood was used to make their home,
Like how much they go without or use what nature provides,
Like what they tell the pollsters is important to them,
Or how they find novel uses for things that others send to the tip.
Even then the ultimate test may well be how much they share around,
So, others can pollute less.
Christian, a lion, was purchased when he was just a baby.
Ace and John, Christian's owners, were also Christian's family.
All three of them for years lived in the big city,
until Christian reached that size and age,
that prevented Christian from being housed in any area or cage,
and so Ace and John decided unequivocally,
that Christian could use a little wildlife rehabilitation therapy,
and so Christian was shipped off to Africa to learn to live wild and free.
After about a year of Christian living in the wild freely,
Ace and John missed Christian terribly,
and decided to pay Christian a surprise visit unexpectedly.
"He probably won't remember either of you," George Adamson said,
a Kenyan conservationist who helped Christian get rehabilitated,
but one could only imagine Mr Adamson's surprise,
when he witnessed the reunion of Ace, John and Christian with his own eyes.
That reunion in itself is nothing short of becoming a legend,
It reminds us all that there aren't any bounds that love can't transcend .
