Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Africa's lion populations are disappearing at such an alarming rate that in the past 30 years there has been an 80-90% decrease in numbers of these magnificent animals! Just 3 decades ago it is thought that over 200,000 lions may have roamed the African continent but in 2002 the estimates of the population was as little as 23,000 - 39,000.
However more recent reports show that the population is continuing to decline and at an even faster rate!
"The African Lion & Environmental Research Trust works with all sectors of society throughout Africa to promote the development of sustainable lion conservation management plans.  ALERT is proud to foster partnerships with stakeholders to collaboratively develop and implement African solutions to African challenges.  ALERT promotes community action by raising awareness, motivating and empowering people to protect and restore their environment and improve livelihoods."

Anyone who has seen the ITV series "Lion Country" will have seen the amazing work that is being done by ALERT and this page is to raise money to help the Ngamo Pride by maintaining and protecting the release site and ensuring that they have a sufficient amount of prey to hunt. These costs are high but even a small donation will make a huge difference!

Please donate as much or as little as you can. Every penny counts!
