Born Free £ GBP ADOPT DONATE SHOP SUBSCRIBE OPEN MENU ADOPT A LION Sadly, wild lion populations face the risk of extinction from numerous threats including habitat loss due to encroachment by humans - farmers resort to poison, guns and snares to drive lions from their land. Trophy hunting and keeping lions in captivity are further issues that threaten to push populations towards extinction. We need to act now to stop this decline. ADOPT KING King was rescued from an apartment in Paris where he was being kept illegally as an ‘exotic pet’ in a small, dirty cage. He now lives at our big cat sanctuary in South Africa.
