What is the main focus of the Global White Lion Protection Trust?
The primary aim of the Global White Lion Protection Trust (WLT) is to re-establish White Lions within their natural distribution range in the way they once occurred naturally. This is done in strict accordance with current conservation principles. The Trust takes a holistic approach: in conserving the White Lion as an ‘apex predator’: we first conserve its prey, but to conserve the prey species we have to protect their habitat, and in order to protect the habitat we involve and include the people that share that habitat. As a unique contribution to the biodiversity of the Greater Timbavati region – and as an animal that is revered by the Shangaan people – the White Lion must be protected. To date the genetic marker for the White Lion has not been determined. The Trust has, therefore, embarked on ground-breaking research to identify the genetic marker. Our scientific team is doing so through the process of DNA analysis, in collaboration with genetic specialists from Swansea University i
