The Decline of Lions
Once spanning from Europe to the southern tip of Africa and as far as India, lions have lost 93% of their historic range. Today, their populations are fragmented across sub-Saharan Africa, with a small relict group in northern India. A century ago, an estimated 200,000 lions roamed the wild—now, fewer than 23,000 remain. While Southern and East African lions are classified as Vulnerable, the northern subspecies faces a greater risk, with the West African lion considered Critically Endangered. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensuring the survival of these iconic predators and restoring their rightful place in the wild.
Endangered Big Cats
Among the world’s most endangered animals, the Amur leopard and Sunda Island tiger stand on the brink of extinction. The Amur leopard, one of the rarest big cats, has fewer than 100 individuals left in the wild, restricted to a small region in Russia and China. Habitat loss, prey scarcity, and human infrastructure threaten their survival, though conservation efforts in protected areas offer hope. The Sunda Island tiger, also known as the Sumatran tiger, is the smallest tiger subspecies, with only around 600 remaining in the wild. Found solely on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, these tigers face habitat destruction, human-wildlife conflict, and poaching. As human populations grow, their natural habitat shrinks, putting them at even greater risk. Protecting these majestic predators is crucial to maintaining biodiversity and preserving the delicate balance of their ecosystems.
