Description: This program is a combination of work on Antelope Park's lion breeding & rehabilitation program, National Park conservation work, & community development initiatives. Available for groups of 10+.

Highlights: Over 200,000 lions used to roam the African continent, as recently as 1975. The latest estimates show an 80-90% population decline in the last 30 years. The lion program aims to reintroduce the offspring of captive-bred lions into the wild by means of a four-stage process, which volunteers will learn about during the project. They will also gather data on various species in the national parks to help assess their number, position, etc. Finally, volunteers will teach local school children about conservation.
