Surprising as it may be to hear, the African lion is fast becoming a rare species in the continent famed for it. The reasons are familiar to most people now - habitat destruction, poaching, illegal hunting and the disappearance of the game species which they feed on. But although the situation is bad, we should not give up. There are many things we can do to help - and the guys behind the ALERT program have already figured very good ways to turn things around.
These divide broadly into two - programs to do with helping the lions themselves, and programs which help the people most affected by lions, and who can do the most to save them.
Over the next weeks and months, we will explain in detail how these programs provide a concrete and scientific path to ensure the future of the lion - symbol of African wildlife.
