"Until the lion learns to write, every story will glorify the hunter" 

African Proverb

40% of the world's wildlife has been wiped out in the last 50 years

With around 20 000 African lions left in the wild, lions are now officially classified as 'vulnerable'

Lions are being killed for the illegal wildlife trade. In recent years, there has been increasing demand for lion bone as a substitute for tiger bone in traditional Asian medicine

LIons could be extinct in the wild as soon as 2050
