20 | I know you have lots of ideas. | Fantatro fa manana hevitra maro ianareo. |
21 | Send them to us. | Alefaso aty aminay izy ireny. |
22 | We are thinking that it would be great if we could send a global message about lion conservation with our lion. | Mihevitra izahay fa tena mahafinaritra raha afaka mandefa hafatra maneran-tany momba ny fiarovana ny liona amin'ny alalan'ny lionay. |
23 | You can be as creative as you want. You can even suggest modification of the lion - as long as it still looks like a lion. | Sady afaka manome soso-kevitra hanavaozana ny liona koa ianareo - raha toa ka voatahiry hatrany ny endrika maha-liona azy. |
24 | But we cannot put advertising. | Nefa tsy afaka mametraka dokam-barotra izahay. |
25 | No logos. | Tsy misy mari-pamantarana . |

27 | The lions will then go under auction on the same day and proceeds from the auction will go towards lion conservation projects in Kenya. | Avy eo hamidy amin'izay sahy misondrotra ambony amin'io andro io ihany ary ny vola azo dia arotsaka amin'ireo asa fiarovana ny liona any Kenya. |
28 | The November date also coincides with Born Free's 25th Anniversary. | Ity daty amin'ny Novambra ity moa dia mifanojo amin'ny faha 25 taona nananganana ny Born Free Foundation. |
29 | There are signs that this campaign - modeled around the Go Elephants campaign held in Summer 2008 in Norwich- will be exciting and it would be interesting to see how the blogosphere and media will react to it. | Misy marika ahitana sahady fa ity fanentanana ity- izay naka lasitra avy tamin'ny hetsika Go Elephants natao tany Norwich tamin'ny Lohataona 2008- dia hahaliana [hampientanentana] ary hahasarika ny hijery hoe ahoana ny fanehoan-kevitry ny tontolon'ny fitoraham-bolongana sy ireo media momba azy ity. |
