Story

LionAid is taking the challenge to climb mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania July 2022! This is no mean feat and will take a lot of willpower and passion from our 15 strong team to make this 19,340 ft trek. Our volunteers and Christine Macsween (LionAid's co director) are aiming to raise £65,000 to start our very important human/lion conflict mitigation project in Merrueshi, Kenya. The project consists of upgrading bomas (where the livestock are kept overnight to protect them from predators) and the Insurance herd compensation scheme: Substituting a community-derived compensation scheme to effectively counter the continuing frustration with existing compensation programmes Effective equipping of livestock bomas to deter and prevent livestock losses caused by predators Please support the LionAid volunteers on this journey to conserve Lions in the wild...!

LionAid is a small but highly effective charity, based in the UK, focused mainly but not exclusively on the conservation of lions, which are facing catastrophic declines in the wild. We believe that there are now only five viable lion populations left in Africa and one small population in India.
