The Lion King: Protect the Pride is a global conservation campaign inspired by the 2019 remake of The Lion King. It is headed by a partnership between the Walt Disney Company and the Lion Recovery Fund, and is designed to help with the conservation of the dwindling population of African lions.
==Information==
===Official description===
"In celebration of the release of Disney's The Lion King, the upcoming groundbreaking feature film helmed by Jon Favreau in theaters July 19th, The Walt Disney Company is proud to announce a global conservation campaign to raise awareness and support the dwindling lion population across Africa.
Since Disney's The Lion King was first released in theaters 25 years ago, half of Africa’s lions have disappeared. Lions face rising threats, such as poaching, loss of prey and destruction of habitats. However, research shows the lion population can recover.
Disney has already donated more than $2.9 million to the Wildlife Conservation Network's (WCN) Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) and its partners, and will make additional grants as well as invite fans to participate and help increase the donation—for a total contribution of up to $3 million. Fans may participate by taking part in celebratory experiences and purchasing special edition products, as part of The Lion King Protect the Pride campaign."
===Campaign===
The Walt Disney Company has donated over $1.5 million in support of lion conservation efforts in the past, and plans to make additional contributions. Much of the profit from products sold in anticipation of The Lion King will be donated to the Lion Recovery Fund as well. Similar efforts will also be made by Disney's Animal Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort.
