#RoarWithUs on World Lion Day

August 10, 2025

Donate

The rising demand for lion parts has created a heartbreaking reality: lions are being hunted relentlessly while their protectors—Africa's brave rangers—are disappearing from the field due to funding cuts.

Rangers Need You Now

This is a critical moment. Ranger programs are understaffed and under-resourced just when lions need them most. Many rangers have lost their positions entirely, leaving vast territories unprotected.

Your Support Saves Lives.

Together, on #WorldLionDay, we can turn the tide. The Lion Recovery Fund is working with partners across Africa to ensure rangers stay in the field, equipped and ready to protect lions from poachers.

A donation of any help helps support a ranger in the field. Your donation provides:

  • Essential equipment and training
  • Salaries that keep rangers on patrol
  • Resources to combat poaching effectively

Your support expands protection for lions throughout Africa. 100% of your donations go straight to conservation projects in the field—creating a network of well-supported guardians who can effectively combat poaching while protecting one of the most awe-inspiring species on our planet.

Every Dollar Fights Poaching.
