The sad truth is that the population of lions is decreasing and they are listed as vulnerable. At the current rate of habitat loss and poaching, African lions could be completely extinct by 2050.

More sad facts:

  • The lion population in Africa has decreased by 90% in the last century
  • There are currently only about 23,000 lions left in the wild
  • Lions are extinct in 26 countries across Africa
