Description
The lion's reign as the 'king of beasts' has been marked by both majesty and decline. This book explores the cultural significance of the lion over thousands of years, tracing its historic rise and fall as a global species.
From the devastating killing of Cecil in 2015 to the alarming decline of lion populations across Africa, Sara Evans examines the complex reasons behind this catastrophic drop in numbers. With only 20,000 lions remaining, many experts warn that without effective conservation plans, they will be lost by the mid-21st century.
This narrative weaves together personal encounters with Africa's last lions, visits to breeding projects and insights from experts in the field, accompanied by photographs, illustrations and maps. By shedding light on the plight of these iconic animals, Evans hopes to inspire action to reverse the decline of this majestic species.
