Lions
🇿🇦 South Africa
The lion (Panthera leo) is listed as Vulnerable in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (2023) with a current population trend that is decreasing.
Who will now care for the animals, for they cannot look after themselves? Are there young men and women who are willing to take on this charge? Who will raise their voices, when mine is carried away on the wind, to plead their case?
—George Adamson, British wildlife conservationist, game warden and author based in Kenya
