#PRIDE OF LIONS ANOTHER TOMORROW FREE#
The population monitored by Born Free in Meru since 2014 is a vital stronghold for lions.īorn Free’s mission to protect lions and secure their future, conducted by our Pride of Meru team, helps ensure the lion population in this park 180 miles NE of Nairobi, is protected, monitored, and tracked, allowing us to better understand the prides’ behaviours and interactions.


Unfortunately, lion populations are decreasing globally, due to threats including a loss of habitat as human populations expand and conflict with humans resulting in the poisoning, shooting, or snaring of lions. It is estimated there are only 20,000 lions left in the wild, with approximately 2,500 of these found in Kenya including some 80 in Meru. 22 December 2022 NEW CUBS & PRIDE TAKEOVERS IN MERU Born Free reports significant changes for the lion prides of Meru in eastern Kenya, with the recent birth of five cubs, as well as fascinating new coalitions and dominant males.Īided by supporters, Born Free is working hard to protect Kenya’s important lion population and there is significant news to report from our heartland of Meru National Park, the park where Elsa the lioness was returned to the wild.
