Save wild lions.

Promote Coexistence.

Secure local livelihoods.

Lion Landscapes is UK registered Charity that works with local communities and conservation partners to create landscapes where both large carnivores and local people can thrive.

About us

There are now fewer wild lions left in the world than rhinos

At an estimated 20,000 wild lions in Africa today, we have lost 90% over the past century to habitat destruction, prey loss, conflict with people over livestock depredation, and illegal hunting for body parts.

Today, more than half of the wild lions remaining live in unprotected range lands, shared with people and livestock.

To secure lions and other large carnivores in the wild, we must make their conservation valuable to the people who share the landscape with them.

OUR PROGRAMS

In this partnership between Lion Landscapes and The Peregrine Fund, we focus on protecting community livelihoods, vultures and lions, through our Lion Rangers, Community Coexistence Training and Collaring for Coexistence programs. More information.

Lion Rangers

The heroes on the ground who save wild lions by helping local communities to better protect their livestock, prevent human-wildlife conflict and assist when incidences occur.

Community Coexistence Training

Reduce the incidences of poisoning in response to livestock loss by informing local communities about the human and livestock health risks of using poison. These trainings are run by The Peregrine Fund.

Collaring for Coexistence

Provides conservation livestock owners with real-time lion movement information from GPS collars via a mobile phone app and testing new technologies that protect livelihoods and lions.

Lion Carbon

A scalable and sustainable biodiversity conservation model, which links payment to local communities in return for long-term wildlife and habitat protection agreements. First project in Zambia.

Research

Our focus is to better understand the challenges lions face living in landscapes shared with humans and their livestock.

Wildlife Monitoring

Without a system of monitoring, conservation managers have no way of showing the impacts of their actions. Monitoring allows us to measure how practices affect their goals.

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

We're now raising funds for a Rapid Response Unit to be able to reach communities in Laikipia during Covid-19

and help them to coexist with large carnivores.

Together we can Save wild lions and promote co-existence.
