It Takes a Village to Save Lions

The Lion Recovery Fund Teams up with Disney to Protect Lions

With the theatrical release of Mufasa: The Lion King—the highly anticipated feature film that explores the unlikely rise of the beloved king of the Pride Lands—only in theaters December 20, Disney and the Lion Recovery Fund will once again reignite the Protect the Pride campaign in continued support of our vision to double the number of Africa's lions by 2050. The funds provided through this campaign will help the Lion Recovery Fund expand its efforts to support conservation groups, governments, and local communities across Africa and create long-lasting impacts for lions and their landscapes.
