There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Kevin Richardson: " Nothing really to smile about: In countries like Malawi, the approximate wild lion population is 5, 30 in Nigeria, 25 in Angola, 22 in Rwanda and 20 in Niger. Countries with larger populations include Tanzania (8176), Kenya (1825), Mozambique (1295), South Africa (2070), Zimbabwe (1709) and Zambia (1095). A recent study (The draft report titled State of the Lion: Fragility of a Flagship Species, by Amy Dickman and Amy Hinks from the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit at the University of Oxford), notes how there are more wild rhinos than wild lions, 14 times more African elephants and wild gorillas than wild lions and nearly 350 000 people for every one wild lion, yet wherever I travel in the world people know more about the plight of the rhino, elephant and gorilla than the lion. I use my platform to spread as much awareness about the lion as possible and include talking about it wherever I can. You can play your part in spreading awareness by tagging a few friends who might not know this. ".


That's not too dissimilar to what was recently posted about its striped cousin: https://wildfact.com/forum/topic-on-the-...s?page=158
