Lions have walked the earth since Paleolithic times, as evidenced by their representation in works of art by numerous ancient civilisations, from the Greece to India.  Lions are mentioned in the texts of all major religions; indeed, in the Bible they are referenced 157 times, more than any other animal that existed in that era.

A number of well-known global conservation groups, including the Endangered Wildlife Trust, have warned the falling numbers of rhinos in Africa have resulted in a surge in lion deaths, as poachers are now looking for a new ‘product’ to replace rhino horn, which is usually used in medicinal concoctions in Asian countries. Poachers are now […]

Due to its dwindling numbers, the black rhino has been classified as a critically endangered species. Between the seventies and early nineties, more than 96% of the entire population was killed by poachers, and recent estimates from the WWF suggest that there are now approximately 4,800 left living in the wild. With one black rhino […]

Last year in central Africa, approximately 60 elephants were killed each day. Wildlife conservation enthusiasts like Tunde Folawiyo are probably aware that poaching is a very serious problem across the continent, due to the high value of elephant tusks; those who sell them on the black market can usually get at least $1,500 per pound.

Just four decades ago, the continent of Africa contained more than 200,000 lions; however, by the end of 2012, this number had shrunk to 32,000. At this rate of decline, the African lion could be extinct by 2050. The increasingly small number of West African lions is particularly alarming, with the last report indicating that […]

As the demand for ivory continues to threaten the survival […]

Two African species often admired by wildlife experts are the golden jackal and the spotted hyena. Whilst not quite as majestic or graceful as other animals on the continent, their ability to survive in what is some of the world’s harshest environments is nevertheless remarkable. Native to northern Africa, the former is said to bear […]
