In this article, I read about how the lion population has fallen by 68% in the last 50 years and it is estimated to increase throughout the years. With the expanding human population, natural habitats are being destroyed for more cities, agricultural purposes, etc. With the natural habitats being destroyed, the lion's prey have fallen dramatically causing lions to run out of food.
Lions are being hunted for their bones. Trophy hunters shoot lions for their parts and then ship them to China. To conserve the lion population, we must stop destroying natural habitats and stop the lion's prey from dying. Lion hunting must be banned or better regulated.
