World Lion Day is celebrated in a variety of ways across the world, each with its own distinguishing flair.
Everyone celebrates World Lion Day, and it is not confined to any country in particular.
World Lion Day was first observed in 2013 as part of an attempt to safeguard lions' natural habitat and raise awareness about lions.
Beverly and Dereck Joubert, a couple with a strong interest in wild cats, founded World Lion Day. The National Geography and Big Cat Initiative collaborated to observe World Lion Day.
Now that you know why World Lion Day began, read on to discover a little more regarding the background!
There is no specific ritual or tradition that needs to be followed to celebrate World Lion Day. Every year, the day is celebrated with a theme, and on August 10, 2021, the theme was 'slow elimination of the African lion'.
Try to plant more trees so that the ecological balance of the lions can be maintained and visit the nearby conservationist societies to learn more about it.
Contribute to the natural habitat, such as through afforestation. Practice the tactics that help prevent wildfires.
Donate whatever little amount you can to organizations such as the Big Cat Initiative.
Read, learn, and share the lions' facts with your close friends and relatives. Raise awareness about lions in your own creative way by sketching out posters with slogans!
On August 10, 2018, more than 100,000 people in Gujarat, India participated in raising awareness about lions by wearing Asiatic lion masks. This rally was initiated by Sasan-Gir, which is also known as Gir National Park and Wildlife Sanctuary.
A few of the conservation groups, including Panthera, Earth Rangers, and Wild Aid, have worked to preserve the lion population and spread awareness of the significance of conserving lions on this day.
With the changes in their natural habitat, the lion conservation status has been brought into concern, and the celebration of this day is essential now more than ever. As per the records, only 20,000 big cats are left in the jungle (as of 2020).
World Lion Day is celebrated to raise awareness about these endangered species and what safety measures can be taken to maintain their ecological balance.
The main reason for the extinction of the lion population is the loss of their natural habitats, in which they dwell. One can try to save lions by protecting their natural habitat.
People become aware of the species and connect with them emotionally.
Americans celebrate World Lion Day like any other country's people and are doing their best to preserve the declining population of mountain lions in America by donating funds.
In 2013, World Lion Day was founded as a way to protect lions and raise public awareness about their wildlife.
