Its also sobering that this story exists only because this lion was famous enough to have a name. We would not be talking about this if the lion was nameless.

Maybe we should identify all the remaining lions on a 'Facebook for Lions'. Then, any poaching (and ?legal? hunting) will be visible under the light of social media.

Seriously, what if you just had drones and a web team, occasionally following the individual lions around and making a fun app out of it? Then all casualties would have infinitely more visibility and the hunters would have to account for that.
