Defying extinction
West Africa is home to less than 4% of all lions remaining. There are 13 times more lions in East Africa than in West Africa. With only around 850 lions remaining in this part of the world and with remaining populations being scattered in small fragmented areas, the subspecies is becoming truly endangered.
