World Lion Day

 World Lion Day

Each year on August 10, Lion Day is celebrated to  bring awareness to the declining population of lions

Lions are listed as a vulnerable species according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species

Currently, there are about 30,000 to 100,000 lions left on earth.  In the past few decades, lion populations have decreased almost by half.
