Walk with lions to stem their decline
Home

African Impact is looking for volunteers for its projects dedicated to the release of captive-bred lions into the wild. This helps stem the dramatic decline of Africa's lion population.

Two projects, based in Zimbabwe, are funded by volunteers, who walk young lions into the bush to get them used to the smells and sights. It is important for the lions to learn about the natural environment before their release.

African Impact says that without the funding and time given by volunteers it would not be possible to release the lions back into the wild.
