Rwanda on Tuesday, joined the global community in celebrating the World Lion Day which is observed every year on August 10 to raise awareness about lions and mobilise support for their protection and conservation.
In Rwanda,
according to Drew Bantlin, the Conservation and Research Manager at
Akagera National Park, the lion population in the park has grown five
times to 35 since 2015, when seven lions were translocated into the park
in 2015.
Great news but this is still an isolated population and will need help to maintain genetic viability
