Adopt a Lion

The total population of lions across Africa has fallen from 100,000 in the 1960 to only 20,000 today. Asiatic lions, numbering fewer than 500, are only found in the Gir Forest in the Indian State of Gujarat. Lions face numerous threats, including habitat loss, depletion of food, poaching, trophy hunting, canned hunting, and exploitation for entertainment and the exotic pet trade.
