Today is World Lion Day...
World Lion Day is an independent campaign working to highlight the importance of the lion globally and to raise lion conservation awareness worldwide. "Saving the King of Beasts to Save Ourselves" For more info on the initiative: www.worldlionday.com Lion numbers in the wild have plummeted drastically in the last 100 years. As Dereck Joubert, filmmaker of the film The Last Lions and director of Great Plains Conservation, puts it: "A hundred years ago we think there were over a million lions. When I was born, maybe 450,000 lions roamed these plains. Today we niggle over if there are 20,000 or 35,000 lions left and forget to look over our shoulders at history."
