Lions in Serious Decline

in Animal News

Turn to page 24 of the online version of Msafiri, the in-flight magazine for Kenya Airways, in which Adam M. Roberts, CEO of Born Free USA and the Born Free Foundation, calls for global action to halt the catastrophic declines in lion populations. In response to a report showing that lions have disappeared from 12 (and possibly even 16) African countries, Roberts says, “Lions used to roam all over Africa, west Asia, and southern Europe. Now, we risk seeing them disappear from much of their remaining sub-Saharan African range.”
