Three of the five largest populations are in Tanzania. Lions have disappeared from 12 sub-Saharan countries in recent decades. It means they play a crucial role in keeping a healthy balance of numbers among other animals, especially herbivores like zebra and wildebeest — which in turn influences the condition of grasslands and forests. Adopt the Eneiskiria pride of lions and become a part of the solution to help protect lions in the Mara. To protect their livelihoods, more and more local farmers are retaliating by killing lions.
Lion bones have become increasingly in-demand in recent times, sometimes as a substitute for even-rarer tiger bones, especially as an ingredient in traditional Asian medicine. The magnificent lion: the symbol of Africa.
Adopt a lion. Demand Action. African lion species: African lion. Now it is estimated as less than 23, Equip anti-poaching rangers and help build livestock enclosures called bomas to reduce human-lion conflict.

We believe that protecting Africa's wildlife and wild landscapes is the key to the future prosperity of Africa and its people — and for over 50 years, we have made it our work to help ensure that Africa's wild resources endure.
Sholley, and Paul Thomson. The king of the jungle has one deadly predator — humans. All Threats. Poaching Poachers focus on the large bodied prey species that lions favor leading to starvation of cubs and subadults and lions getting caught in snares or gin traps as indirect bycatch.
However, increasingly poachers are also specifically targeting lions for bones and body parts for limited local trade but hugely expanding Asian trade. Human-Lion Conflict Obliterated in most human landscapes more than a century ago there are nevertheless many areas in Africa and Asia where lion populations either interface with or rarely exist amongst humans and their livestock. With human and livestock population increasing, this interface is possibly more fraught than ever and in the equation lions are generally the losers.
Communities whose livestock graze within protected areas present a real concern in many localities. Nevertheless, enough undisturbed lion range exists for lion numbers to bounce back if we can implement changes to policy and successfully mitigate poaching and conflict.
Through Project Leonardo, Panthera aims to bring lion populations back to a minimum of 30, individuals by by protecting and connecting key lion populations throughout their range in Africa.
Lions are being secured by collaborating with local governments, communities and NGOs. Panthera works primarily to secure lions in key sites and limit trade in their prey and body parts, mitigating the risk of lions to livestock owners and influencing policy around the decision making and benefits to local peoples.
