Lions are the stuff of legends. Revered and feared in equal measure,
both majestic and terrifying, they once reigned supreme over an
extensive domain. But this once-dominant beast’s original range has
contracted by some 85%, and the world population is thought to have
dropped to just over 20,000 individuals. The IUCN Red Data List now
classifies lions as Vulnerable, and the West African subpopulation as
Critically Endangered.
Not only are lion numbers crashing, but the remaining populations cling
to their existence on ever smaller, more fragmented pockets of land.
Feared and despised by farmers trying to eke out a living on marginal
land, lions are increasingly being exterminated or repurposed for
commercial gain. Trophy hunters pay extortionate sums to bag specimens
in their prime, and lion bones are being sold for the roaring Eastern
trade in ‘tiger wine’.
This landmark book aims to halt the downward spiral. It takes you on a
journey across the continent and into the lives of rangers, scientists
and communities, and the majestic creatures they work to conserve.
Along with the bad news about today’s lions, it offers a message of
hope, showing how innovative conservationists are rethinking our
approach to human-lion coexistence.
This book, with its searing, inspiring images and vivid accounts from
the experts and foot-soldiers of conservation, brings the plight of
lions to the attention of the world and is an urgent plea for the
actions that need to be taken before it’s too late.
