United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon adopted a six-month-old lion cub today in Kenya.

Ban named the young lioness Tumaini, which means "hope" in the Kenyan Kiswahili language.

The cub was found abandoned in the Nairobi National Park and will be raised at an animal orphanage in Nairobi.

Ban Ki-moon expressed the hope that people around the world will be able to live in harmony with nature.

The Secretary General is on a two-day visit to Kenya, where the ecological summit ends a week of meetings under the auspices of the UN devoted to environmental protection.

More than 1.200 participants from 193 UN member states spent a week in Nairobi, where the UN Environment Program agency is headquartered.

Ban Ki-moon also expressed hope that UN members will adopt an agreement on climate change at formal talks in Lima in December.
