Lions in South-Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia

[Spalea]

Kevin Richardson: " As the Dalai Lama once stated, "Everything is interconnected."

Here in Africa we call it "Ubuntu." Thanks to our friends at @wild.ark , we can now understand that interconnectedness and focus our attention on vital connections. Of course... lions are key to our web of life.
WildArk asked the world’s leading conservation scientists to identify the flagship species that represent the world’s biodiversity, in order to prioritise conservation efforts. These scientists created a way to prioritise locations around the world that are the most important for conserving the lands and water on which we all depend – from wildlife biodiversity to natural carbon storage – and have identified the flagship species that could be used to direct fundraising into these critical landscapes. The WildArk100 is a list of 100 flagship species, and 50 global priority eco regions, underpinned by the best available science, to maximise global benefits to biodiversity.In short, it puts science behind the species we use to market and fundraise for conservation – rather than what’s popular or ‘cute’. This research sets a new precedent for organizations looking to leverage funding to protect biodiversity and can be used by anyone looking to drive awareness that results in real outcomes on the ground, in this critical time for global biodiversity.
