Lions are an endangered species! Over the last couple of years, there has been a rapid decline in lion numbers. We have seen large numbers of lions disappearing from the wild.
According to a new report, the African lion is facing extinction across the entire West African region. The report, titled: The lion in West Africa is critically endangered, was published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE. The report found that the ‘situation is most critical for the geographically isolated populations in West Africa, where the species is considered regionally endangered.’
This report presents sobering results, and paints bleak and dire pictures of the conditions that lions in the wild face. It has also outlined the need for conservation.
Lions in Africa, more especially West Africa, may soon disappear entirely unless conservation efforts improve.
