In just 25 years we have lost half of Africa's lions. Only 20,000 remain from a population of 200,000 a century ago. Actions big or small can help make a difference. Make sure to come out to Lion Day July 20th at @JBZOOGR to learn more about lions and what you can do to help!

[Snares to Wares Initiative @SnarestoWares]

Snare wire traps are indiscriminate in who they target. This lion lost his leg to a snare wire. If it was not for the efforts of the Uganda Wildlife Authority, he would have lost his life. @SnarestoWares collects and repurposes snare wire to end this injustice. #conservation #MSU

Make sure to check out our website at https://t.co/QVMz4DWhsR for more information. While you're there, make sure to check out our snare wire sculptures for sale! Proceeds flow directly into the community to sustain improved human livelihood and lower snare poaching rates. #MSU
