Building Bridges for Conservation: The Second Lion Footprint Forum

When lion experts from across Africa and beyond gathered for the second Lion Footprint Forum, the energy was unmistakable. Organized by Wildlife Conservation Network’s Lion Recovery Fund (LRF), and supported by The Walt Disney Company as part of Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King “Protect the Pride” campaign, the forum spotlighted continued efforts to help double lion populations by 2050 and brought together conservation actors under the banner of "People and Lions: Reducing the Cost and Unlocking the Value of Coexistence." These experts tackled one of conservation's most complex challenges: how people and lions can share landscapes safely, sustainably, and with mutual benefit.
