## African Lion Conservation Challenge
IUCN estimates roughly 20,000–25,000 African lions remain — down significantly since the 1990s. Habitat loss, human–wildlife conflict, snaring and poaching drive decline across East and Southern Africa. WARN funds partner grants in Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa.

## What Lion Donations Fund
Anti-poaching patrol support, snare removal from lion corridors, conflict mitigation when lions threaten livestock, and emergency veterinary response for snared lions — through established partners, not WARN-run operations.

## Kenya, Tanzania and South Africa
Kenya's Maasai Mara and Amboseli, Tanzania's Serengeti ecosystem and South Africa's reserves hold key populations. All three countries are in WARN's 17-country network. Donate at /appeals/lions or give generally at /donate.

## Human–Wildlife Conflict
Retaliatory killing when lions take livestock remains a major threat. Partner programmes deploy coexistence tools — early-warning systems, boma reinforcement and community compensation frameworks — reducing conflict-driven losses.

## Snaring and Bushmeat
Wire snares set for antelope kill lions indiscriminately. Patrol teams remove snares from corridors; veterinary teams treat injured lions where partners have dart-and-treat capacity.

## UK and International Donor Route
Donate in GBP, USD or EUR with full receipts. Not Gift Aid eligible — WARN is a registered global not-for-profit, not a UK charity. The case for giving is transparent partner-led delivery.
