I saw a lot of lions in Serengeti National Park. When I say “a lot” I mean that in relative terms. According to the African Wildlife Foundation, the lion population has decreased by 43% in the past 21 years (as of 2015). https://www.awf.org/wildlife-conservation/lion
Basically, all African wildlife is in trouble. The causes are many. One thing my trip caused me to do was focus more on wildlife problems outside the United States. The African Wildlife Foundation is dedicated to saving African wildlife. I’m now a member. If you’re concerned about African wildlife, please consider joining this organization at the link above.
