@wildlifeact @TimesLIVE This is the ONLY park in Africa that has ALWAYS had black and white rhino roaming on it...such a special place and to think it is in the crosshairs of poachers who are waiting to change that status - we cannot allow that to happen. Talk about rhino today & let others know!!

Join @Blood_Lions and @MoveTheWorldAF today at 15h00 SAST for a Twitter chat as they pose questions to ministers of @GovernmentZA and ask @BarbaraCreecy_
to set a zero lion bone export quota.

#WORLDLIONDAY Did you know that SA🇿🇦 legally exports lion skeletons? A new lion bone CITES export quota is about to be set in SA🇿🇦. So today Blood Lions & @MoveTheWorldAF are asking you to help as we call for a ZERO quota. TAKE ACTION: bloodlions.org/800-voices-for… #800Lions

A2 – Lion bones may be legally exported to Laos and Vietnam, but are subsequently redistributed and mostly sold illegally to e.g. China and Thailand.

On this #WorldLionDay we're making our voices heard in a bid to end the {legal} export of lion bones. Are you listening @BarbaraCreecy_ @environmentza @SouthAfrica @sisantshona @mmKubayiNgubane @DrZweliMkhize
#800lions Why is this cruel practise allowed?

For every lion in the wild, there are 14 African elephants, and there are 15 Western lowland gorillas. There are more rhinos than lions, too. @NatGeo interviews LRF director and grantees to shed light on the crisis facing Africa's lions. #lionrecovery

"It is our hope that this genome will enable a new generation of high quality genomic studies of the lion, in addition to comparative studies across Felidae." #LionKingGenomeAssembly #DovetailHiC #AGenomeFitForaKing @LizHadly @PetrovADmitri @_ellie_cat biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh…

The lion is one of the most popular and iconic feline species on the planet, however, the last century has seen massive declines for lion populations worldwide #LongLiveTheKing #LionKingGenomeAssembly #DovetailHiC @LizHadly @PetrovADmitri @_ellie_cat hubs.ly/H0jS4BS0

Thanks for the support @DTGenomics - couldn’t have done it without you!

#LongLiveTheKing ! Well done all, especially @_ellie_cat for ur dedication. This effort will greatly aid to #ProtectThePride as we learn more about this iconic species. Further kudos today to @Disney as they bring awareness to the plight of the Lion w/ @LionRecovery @dicapriofdn

The recent evolutionary history of tigers elucidated using range-wide genomics! Very excited that this paper is now on biorxiv! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… with @PCG_Stanford @_ellie_cat @LizHadly @PetrovADmitri @loronet @frozenzoo and many other collaborators!

@PhilippHenschel of @PantheraCats has analysed samples from Gabon and (I think) Congo, which links our relict population to the South towards Botswana.
PCG_Stanford@PCG_Stanford
@LeeWhiteCBE We would be very interested to get a genetic sample from that and any other historic lions in Gabon to inform the African Lion Genome Project we are doing in collaboration with lion conservationists across Africa.
English
@PCG_Stanford @LeeWhiteCBE I can share the resulting publication and connect you to the lab which ran the analysis...

Well spotted. It is a reminder to us that lions are almost extinct in Gabon and that we need to restore them. Most were poisoned in the 1950’s and 60’s but one lonely male was found in Pleateau Bateke National Park 3 years ago. We hope@to@re-establish a population!

Is that a stuffed lion behind the two forest protectors? (via AL)
