....and SO SO incredibly endangered!
According to information found in the article
Half of Africa’s Lions Will Likely Be Gone in 20 Years only about 20,000 roam free in the wild and those numbers will probably be cut in half in 20 years. I can't imagine a world without them! I encourage everyone who loves these creatures to do all you can to join in the conservation efforts: donate money if you are able to and
most importantly, help spread awareness on your social media sites! The more people hear about it, the more action is likely to take place!
Here are some helpful organizations leading the fight:
- Panthera: Click the "Menu" tab on the left to learn more about the animals themselves, the specific legal avenues the organization is taking to protect the lions, suggestions and ways to get involved etc.
- African Wildlife Foundation: Their mission is: The African Wildlife Foundation, together with the
people of Africa, works to ensure the wildlife and wild lands of Africa
will endure forever.
- Living With Lions: They are a "conservation research group of seven scientists and 34 Maasai warriors
working in nonprotected areas of Kenya to save the remaining wild lions
and other predators outside National Parks".
The situation is dire but it's not too late. We all still have a fighting voice. Please do all you can. Long live the Lion!
