LION CRISIS: SOUTH AFRICA
South Africa is home to thousands of captive-bred lions (8,500+), currently facing an uncertain future as the captive lion industry comes to an end.
In 2024, the government of South Africa, through the South African Department of Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment, announced the shut-down of the captive lion industry with plans to phase out the whole captive lion industry.
While this decision represents an important step for wildlife protection, it also creates a serious challenge: thousands of captive origin lions will need a humane and sustainable future.
Without viable alternatives, many of these lions face euthanasia or uncertain outcomes.
All this initiated the establishment of the Land4Lions Project to provide another path.
Our Vision
To secure and manage protected land, large natural habitats, dedicated to the long-term safety and welfare of lions, where rescued lions can live in expansive, safe environments.
While all captive-origin lions cannot easily be released into the wild, they can live in large, protected conservation areas that allow them to express natural behaviors and live meaningful lives . . . read more
WHY LAND MATTERS
- • Lions are wide-ranging predators that require large territories.
- • Historically, lions once roamed across most of Africa. Today their natural range has declined dramatically due to habitat loss and human expansion.
- • Organizations such as the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) estimate that wild lion populations have declined significantly over the past century.
- • Protecting habitat is one of the most effective ways to secure the long-term future of the species.
