Across Africa lions and other
great predators are disappearing.
Until recently scientists believed that there were 100-200,000 lions
living in Africa, but current information suggests that the number has dropped dramatically
to approximately 30,000. Most of these are in protected
National Parks or managed hunting areas but elsewhere lions are being killed at
an alarming rate. Unless urgent action is taken, they may be
completely wiped out from the unprotected areas lying between parks.
Living with Lions is 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.
