Collectively, Pride Alliance members lead carnivore conservation efforts in 4 key lion range countries, researching and protecting 20% of Africa’s existing wild lion population.
We combine rigorous science with our community conservation efforts, collectively employing hundreds of local people and engaging thousands in our efforts each year to address the biggest threats to lions and improve the lives of local people. Our programs provide:
Human-lion conflict prevention and mitigation (retaliatory killings and poaching)
Snaring and poisoning mitigation
Applied research and monitoring of lion populations and their threats
Education, literacy and skills training for adults and children
Healthcare and veterinary care support
Sustainable development and alternative livelihoods
Women-focused initiatives
