Today is World Lion Day, and to mark the occasion our carnivore keepers provide Lwazi and Ato with some very special enrichment to help shine a light on the challenges facing their wild cousins 🦁🦁🦁
Lions are now extinct in 27 African countries, with less than 20,000 animals remaining in the wild. Human-wildlife conflict is a leading cause of the decline in wild populations, alongside poaching, the illegal wildlife trade and habitat loss. Next time you visit our African Savannah precinct, consider taking home a souvenir from Beads for Wildlife to help support local communities and diversify income streams to lessen the impact of human-wildlife conflict.

Together we can help secure a shared future for people and wildlife. #forthewild #tarongatv #WorldLionDay
