Your donation today can make a huge difference.
Lions are the superstars of the savannah. At the top of the food chain, they play a pivotal and essential role in maintaining the balance across diverse habitats.
Sadly, lions are being poached for bushmeat, body parts and are targets for horrific canned hunting activity. However, the biggest threats to lions comes from shrinking habitats and our biggest challenge is finding new ways to share the landscape.
Please help stop their further decline by donating generously today and save lions from extinction.
All donations of $2 or more are fully tax-deductible for Australian residents.
The mighty king of the savannah is terribly vulnerable, and just one step away from a conservation status that’s very hard to come back from. Luckily, conservation Zoos like Taronga are keeping the future alive.
Nick Boyle, Taronga’s senior conservationist, explained the reasons for the shocking decline in Africa’s lion numbers:
“Lion habitat is shrinking, much of it being taken up by agriculture. So instead of having traditional prey to hunt, lions are often coming across cattle and other livestock. If they predate livestock, they put farmers’ livelihoods at risk, and we are seeing a lot of retaliatory killings.”
But there are ways to give humans and lions a shared future and by donating today you can make a huge impact for the future of lions.
Taronga is involved in exciting conservation projects that have the potential to help save lions from this uncertain future. But it is only with your thoughtful support that we can make a real difference in time to save lions.
