Save African lions from extinction by listing them as an endangered species!

The population of African lions is severely imperiled!

Stopping unsustainable trophy hunting is the single biggest influence that we can have on disappearing African lions.  The U.S. is responsible for importing over half of all lions brought home by trophy hunters each year—exacerbating the already rapid decline of the species.

As few as 32,000 African lions are estimated to be left in the wild. There has already been a more than a 50 percent decline in the population in the past 30 years. How many more dismal statistics do we have to see to recognize that the species is in dire straits?

Listing the African lion as Endangered would generally prohibit lion trophy importation into the U.S., an important step to reversing the current decline of the population.
