Why this card
The seed is Namibia's real program pairing smartphone alerts with traditional tracking to keep farmers and a recovering desert lion population apart. I imagined a decade of reliable early-warning and paid guardian work making lions predictable neighbours by 2039, supporting grazing and walking tours. The embroidered picture shows that routine: lions using a village path while herders watch calmly from a viewing mound.
