At Lion.Shop, we believe in doing more than just selling lion-themed products. We are committed to making a tangible difference in the world by donating a portion of all proceeds to three exceptional organizations dedicated to lion conservation. Here’s a closer look at the incredible work being done by Lion Guardians, the Lion Recovery Fund, and Living With Lions.
1. Lion Guardians
Lion Guardians is a remarkable organization dedicated to mitigating human-lion conflicts and promoting coexistence between lions and local communities. Through initiatives like sponsoring a Guardian or adopting a lion, they provide essential support for both people and wildlife. For less than $5 a day, sponsors contribute to Guardians’ salaries, GPS equipment, and even fuel for vehicles, ensuring the safety and survival of lions in their natural habitats.
Some key initiatives include:
- Sponsoring a Lion Guardian for $1,800 a year to aid conservation efforts on the ground.
- Providing critical equipment, such as mobile phones and GPS units, for monitoring and communication.
- Investing in environmental education through community outreach programs.
Your purchases from Lion.Shop help keep this vital work alive. Learn more about Lion Guardians and their projects on their official donation page.
2. Lion Recovery Fund
The Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) aims to double the number of lions in Africa by addressing critical threats like habitat loss, poaching, and human-lion conflict. Founded by the Wildlife Conservation Network and the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, the LRF strategically collaborates with conservationists, governments, and donors to protect lions and their ecosystems.
Their core goals include:
- Expanding conservation efforts to under-protected areas.
- Securing funding for long-term lion and habitat protection.
- Building public and political support for lion conservation across Africa.
Your purchase at Lion.Shop supports the LRF's vision of thriving savannah landscapes where lions and humans coexist. Find out more about their work on their official website.

Living With Lions focuses on lion conservation in Kenya, utilizing cutting-edge research to protect lion populations and reduce human-lion conflict. They are known for their transparency, with 100% of donations going directly to conservation efforts.
Key funding priorities include:
- $150 to cover the anesthesia needed for collaring and disease testing one lion.
- $4,000 for a GPS collar to monitor lion movements and behaviors.
- $60,000 to fund a 4-wheel drive pickup for field operations.
