Join the international pride of Great Plains Foundation lion champions, combining forces across the globe to preserve and protect future generations of lion kings.

The more young people are inspired by incredible creatures like lions, the brighter the future for these remarkable animals. The Great Plains Foundation’s Student Conservation Camps, teach local students about the important role lions play in their ecosystems and encourage young people to protect them for future generations.

In the weeks leading up to Disney’s Lion King release, join the Great Plains Foundation in celebrating local conservation heroes in their work to preserve and protect future generations of lion kings.

A gift of $50 funds all the school and art supplies for one local student during the Great Plains Student Conservation Camps.

Lions are top predators, which means they occasionally compete for the same food as other top predators like humans; leading to conflict. The Great Plains Foundation, along with its partner CLAWS Conservancy, are working with local farmers to reignite traditional herding practices that avoid dangerous conflicts with lions and livestock.

Support this innovative, effective approach to lion conservation by sponsoring a local farmer to attend the Traditional Herding Workshop for just $200 per farmer.

The Maasai Olympics is an incredible community-led lion conservation program demonstrating the power of local communities to protect iconic species like lions. This athletic competition brings together participants from across Kenya’s Maasai-land to compete in sporting events, rather than lion hunts. It is a truly inspiring example of what is possible through community led conservation.

Join the Great Plains Foundation in celebrating the Maasai Olympics by donating $1,000 to sponsor two girls’ schools (40 girls) to participate in the Maasai Olympics.

Working with Zimbabwe National Park officials, the Great Plains Foundation is putting in place critical anti-poaching measures, communication networks, and infrastructure to ensure lions and other top predators can thrive in Zimbabwe’s UNESCO World Heritage site, Mana Pools ecosystem.

A gift of $750 will help fund the critical communication system required for effective anti-poaching patrols in Zimbabwe.

Engaging local communities is critical to long-term conservation…and doing so through a variety of methods is vital. The Great Plains Foundation’s Conservation Goals, uses soccer to bring together communities throughout lion habitat to engage in conservation dialogues and bond with one another through sporting competition.

Join us today in celebrating the goal of Future Generations of Lion Kings through programs like Conservation Goals.

How do you protect future generations of Lion Kings? By keeping track of where they are! As part of its education programs, the Great Plains Foundation teaches local students how to use telemetry and tracking equipment; encouraging them to help protect future generations of lions through jobs in conservation. The future is very bright with these incredible future leaders in lion conservation!

EVERY AMOUNT HELPS

Today Disney launches the new live-action Lion King. We hope you will see the film and be reminded of the remarkable dedication of local lion conservationists; working to ensure many future generations of Lion Kings.
