World Lion Day is a global event that celebrates the lion population. It is observed on the 10th of August every year. Lions are found in Africa and Asia, with a small number living in India. There are an estimated less than 20,000 lions left in Africa. The lion population has decreased by 50% over the past two decades due to loss of habitat and prey, illegal hunting, and conflict with humans.
This event is celebrated to raise awareness about lions and encourage people to take action to protect them from extinction. Lions are one of the most iconic animals in Africa, and they are also one of the most vulnerable. Lions are an endangered species and their population is declining rapidly.
This day celebrates lions and encourages people to help protect them.
