Inventory of free-ranging lions Panthera leo in Africa


2001




Panthera leo has never been comprehensively assessed. The number of free ranging African lions are small and fragmented in West and Central Africa, whereas the species still occurs widely in East- and Southern Africa. We present an inventory of available information, covering most protected areas and ranging in quality from educated guesses to individually known populations. This gives a conservative estimate of 16,500–30,000 free ranging lions in Africa. The results concur with the current IUCN Red List categorization of the lion as Vulnerable.
