Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon (centre right) and his wife, Yoo Soon-taek (centre left) visited Nairobi National Park and adopted a lion cub as a sign of support for efforts against the trafficking of animals around the world. He said he adopted the six-month old cub, whose Kiswahili name Tumaini means “hope”, to show solidarity for the preservation efforts of the Kenyan people, and as a token of his concern for the Kenya Wildlife Service and park rangers.
