As human populations grow across Africa, lions are losing safe habitat. But together we can secure the wildest places in Africa. Landscapes such as southern Chad, northern and eastern Central African Republic (CAR), and eastern South Sudan are some of the wild landscapes that hold great potential for lion recovery in Africa.
Created by the Wildlife Conservation Network, The Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) invests in the most innovative and effective projects across Africa that can recover lions and restore their landscapes. The LRF seeks, assesses, and invests in the best ideas for lion recovery from institutions large or small, with 100% of every dollar donated deployed directly on the ground.
