The future of African predators is in peril. It is estimated that only 10,000-15,000 free-roaming African lions remain, down from 50,000 a decade ago. African lions are now listed as Endangered (West African subspecies) and Vulnerable (East and Southern African subspecies) by the World Conservation Union and are on Appendix II of the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) list. African lions are in danger of disappearing altogether due to disease (FIV, bovine tuberculosis, canine distemper) and habitat encroachment. Today’s modern world subjects lions and other wildlife to many dangers. Mankind constantly seizes more and more of the remaining wild areas of Africa, forcing lions onto smaller and smaller parcels of land. Large-scale developments destroy the lion’s natural habitat. In areas inhabited by livestock, lions are frequently shot, snared or poisoned. And sadly, the hunting of these amazing animals for “sport,” for man’s pleasure, is still encouraged as a revenue producing industry by many African governments. African predators simply will not survive unless they are protected.

Sheer beauty of the majestic Lion. May this intense glance remind us where the Lion belongs to and all conservation efforts be made to respect their right to share the Earth with us.
Thank you for adding this beautiful image along your informative text and personal pledge to Art for Conservation.

I love the selective color on this. I know some people say that the eyes are over done in selective color images but the eyes, of any creature, do seem to have the most to say and I love to see them accentuated especially when the rest of the photo is this good. Fantastic tack sharp focus and incredibly balanced contrast and tone. Just an all round great photo and an image that is so powerful and emotionally and visually impacting. Love the tight composition as well.
