Dark clouds are gathering on the horizon as red-tape bureaucracy and the powerful anti-hunting movement join forces to put an end to lion hunting in Africa. Without trophy hunting the African lion is doomed, the future has never looked as bleak.

The anti-hunting forces are attempting to place the African lion on CITES appendix I. The motive?

The time and costs of fighting this red tape makes this next to impossible.

This video presentation looks into the threats that face the future of lion and lion hunting.
