There are approximately20,000
wild lions in Africa today.
Down from 200,000 a century ago.
If we don’t help to protect the landscapes that lions live in,
it won’t be long before they become extinct in the wild.
OUR PROGRAMMES
Our Lion Conservation Programmes
All aspects of our programmes are carried out in collaboration with one or more of our partners. Collaboration is central to the way we work, and programmes are designed and implemented with our partners from beginning to end.
In partnership with The Peregrine Fund, we focus on protecting community livelihoods, vultures and lions, through our
Lion Rangers, Community Coexistence Training and
Collaring for Coexistence programmes.
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
The focus of our research is to better understand the challenges large carnivores 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.
