Latest Lion Aid News
The listing of African lions by the USFWS is a welcome step forward for lion conservation.
Tuesday 22nd December 2015
For the first time, lion trophy hunting will be assessed as to whether it has a positive impact on the conservation of the species. LionAid believes that these stricter rules imposed on US trophy hunters, who currently are responsible for over 60 per cent of African wild lion hunts, will have a significant positive impact on lion populations which have for far too long been hunted without due care to a species already in catastrophic decline. A fantastic way to end the year! Thank you Daily Express for your coverage of this important news item.
