World Lion Day - August 10 #shortsvideo

World Lion Day on August 10 aims to raise awareness about the plight faced by lions. With only approximately 24,000 wild lions left in Africa. Without significant intervention, there is a chance that they could find themselves on the endangered list alongside other species most at risk of extinction. They face the dual specters of increasingly popular “trophy hunting” and human incursion on their traditional wildlands. A reduction in food combined with hunting tourism is making them more vulnerable with every passing year. Over the last four decades, the lion population declined by fifty percent. #savethelions
