In many parts of Africa
lions are rapidly going extinct. Newly released research has found that
over the last fifty years their total population has fell by two-thirds.
There were almost 100,000 lions in 1960, and now about 32,000. Their
territorial range has suffered an even more drastic loss, they’ve lost
about 75% of their habitat in the last fifty years. The habitat loss has
mostly been because of expanding human populations.
