Every one of our Run for Wildlife events has a unique animal theme to help raise awareness.
It also provide us with our design ideas for the medal and optional t-shirt.
Say hello to the King of the Jungle... What better way to celebrate these incredible animals, and St Georges day on April the 23rd 2023!
Lions can come to blows with humans when they can’t find their natural prey and resort to attacking livestock.
Lion bone has recently become a substitute for tiger bone in alternative medicine.
Loss of habitat due to human activity has left lion populations fragmented and isolated.
Lions’ prey are losing their habitat too! This is causing numbers to dip so lions can’t find enough to eat.
In 2009 in Romania, three prides of African Lions were living in filthy tiny concrete pens, fed on a meagre diet of scraps and faced an uncertain future.
At the time, YWP was a new park and did not have the funds to rehouse and care for the Lions. However, a public campaign was launched that raised £150,000 towards helping bring the Lions to their new home in Yorkshire!
With your help, the Wildlife Foundation are making the world a better place for animals.
The Wildlife Foundation are based at Yorkshire Wildlife Park, Doncaster.
While Yorkshire Wildlife Park is caring for the animals at the Park and working on conservation projects at home, Yorkshire Wildlife Park Foundation is the away team. They work with partners in conservation and welfare around the world, who are doing a great job protecting and saving animals and improving welfare in zoos or in the wild.
