In celebration of Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King, Disney will once again support the Wildlife Conservation Network’s (WCN) Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) and LRF’s partners working across Africa to double the number of lions in the wild by 2050. Since Disney’s animated classic The Lion King was first released in theaters 30 years ago, Africa has lost half of its lions. LRF will support the efforts of local communities in Africa to conserve lions on behalf of the world.

Thanks to your support of Disney’s The Lion King “Protect the Pride” campaign in 2019, the LRF has been able to expand its reach and has now funded more than 300 projects working across 25 countries in Africa.

Since 2017, the Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) has invested in the most innovative and effective projects across Africa to help recover lions and restore their landscapes. By supporting local conservationists who are protecting lions from poaching, reducing human-lion conflict, and safeguarding their habitats and prey, the LRF is working toward its goal to double the number of African lions by 2050. The LRF is a collaborative granting initiative created and managed by the Wildlife Conservation Network. Learn more at lionrecoveryfund.org.
