Title: Lion
Description: In 2002, there were 2,749 lions in Kenya. Today, only about 2,000 exist. Kenya is losing approximately 100 lions each year, due to disease, climate change, habitat loss, human population growth and increased farming. At the current rate of decline, lions in Kenya could face extinction within the next 20 years unless urgent action is taken.
