World Lion Day on August 10: All you need to know

World Lion Day is a day for people to come together to strengthen lion conservation efforts. People should push back against human incursion on their traditional wildlands. It is also a day to raise awareness about the plight of the lion and educate people who live near wild cats about how to live in harmony with them and how to protect themselves should such a situation arise. Countries should develop more national parks to save lions.

The best way to observe this day is to donate money to organisations working for lions. Some of them include International Fund for Animal Welfare, African Conservation Foundation, Save Animals Facing Extinction, Saving The Lion Foundation, and others.

You can also attend (or organise) seminars aimed at coming up with lion conservation plans. As a consumer, you should refrain from buying products that use animal hide. You can also upload a post or take part in a protest against deforestation and the reduction of the lion's natural habitat.

Lions are nocturnal and sleep for about 15-20 hours a day. Meanwhile, lionesses not only tend to cubs but also hunt 80-90 percent of the time. They are considered better hunters than their male counterparts.
