    LIONS. It all began in Africa

    In many cultures, the lion is the symbol of virtue and positive qualities.
    It has always been the symbol of the wilderness and it represents savage instincts and the vital force of Nature. It is a splendid and majestic animal, just like the land from which it comes, Africa.










    According to IUNC (the International Union for the Conservation of Nature) the lion might disappear in 10-15 years. In only one century, the lion population has been reduced 80%: they were 200 thousand, now they are just 30 thousand.
    The lions, in fact, at one time lived all over Africa, now the area that the species lives in has been reduced to sub-Saharan Africa, mainly in Kenya and in Tanzania, where various sub species considered vulnerable live.







    PROJECT








    We would like to contribute to the prevention of the extinction of this feline explaining how they live and what they really risk.
    We would like to make the most possible number of people conscious about saving the eco system and bring world attention toward this continent.







    SHORT MOVIE

    The aim of the project is to inform and aware, but the means chosen is the captivating and involving world of storytelling.
    A short movie will allow us to depict in the best possible way a strong emotion that will surely make us reflect: the only being who menaces the lion is the only one able to help it.







    National Geographic Italia gives us their partneship and the short will be direct by Brando Quilici, based on a text of the writer Marco Vichi.
    The voice off is made by the Italian actor Giorgio Panierello







    INITIATIVE








    FUNDRAISING

    WildlifeDirect supports projects that promotes humane methods of managing human lion conflict - this include the following:

    - promotion of lion lights wich is the lion deterrent invention by a Kenyan boy Richard Turere. His invention is so clever and simple and was featured on TED Talks .
    - conduct monitoring and tracking of lions in Nairobi Park to educate the public and inspire them to care about the lions
    - create a national database so that anyone can contribute photos to the national database and in turn learn about lions.
    - create a new television program. The program will be to create awareness and love of lions on national television, radio and via social media, to discourage the killing of lions.
