We explore the conservation of Africa’s most iconic carnivore—the African lion. Once numbering over 200,000, today there are only about 24,000 lions left in the wild, with nearly half living outside protected areas. These majestic predators face a growing number of threats, from habitat loss and prey depletion to illegal wildlife trade and human-wildlife conflict.

In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we dive into the conservation of Africa's Painted Dogs, also known as African Wild Dogs. Once numbering around 500,000 a century ago, their population has dramatically plummeted to an estimated 6,600 individuals today, leading to their classification as "Endangered" on the IUCN Red List.

In this episode of the Think Wildlife Podcast, we explore the conservation challenges faced by one of the most iconic species of the Arctic, the polar bear. With less than 31,000 individuals left, polar bears are increasingly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including sea ice loss, malnutrition, and human-wildlife conflicts.
