World Lion Day 🦁

World Lion Day, has three objectives.

The first is to raise awareness of the plight of the lion and the issues that the species faces in the wild.

The second is to find ways to protect the big cat’s natural environment, such as creating more national parks and reducing the areas in which people can settle.

And the third is to educate people who live near wild cats on the dangers and how to protect themselves. Humans and large species like cats can live in harmony together, but only if they understand how to do so.

Repost from @zeitzfoundation • When we drink a glass of water, write in a notebook, take medicine for a fever or build a house, we do not always make the connection with forests. Yet despite all these priceless ecological, economic, social and health benefits, global deforestation continues at an alarming rate. We launched the ZEITZ foundation’s Tree of Life reforestation initiative in April 2020 with an aim to plant over 2 million indigenous trees in coming years, with each new forest forming the shape of a wildlife species (in aerial view), to highlight the importance of conservation and biodiversity.⁠ ⁠ On this International Day of Forests, we challenge everyone to help maintain sufficient, productive, diverse, and healthy forests as it is crucial in poverty alleviation and in the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #zeitzfoundation #4Cs #sustainability #thelongrun #conservation #community #culture #commerce #future #planet #biodiversity
