events again. Due
to this our fundraising
levels have surpassed
that of2020 and become| ||||||||more consistent
with the levels we had seen before. This fundraising| ||||||||allowed us to fulfil our basic objectives but also save up the majority| ||||||||required to sponsor another GPS collar.| ||||||||Trustees also worked
behind the scenes to update our conservation| ||||||||strategy
by writing a conservation

review 'Working Together For
Lions' published
on World Lion Day, 10~ August,

to work on the educational
pages ofthe website to| ||||||||keep them as up to date and informative as possible. Due to conflicting| ||||||||information
available one ofthe trustees contacted the chair ofthe IUCN| ||||||||cat classification task force to seek more clarity on the classification
of| ||||||||lions in the wild. This communication
was most useful and saw us update| ||||||||the information
on our website to show the two lion subspecies.

and Southern
Africa and Panthera leo leo commonly| ||||||||referred to as the 'Northern
Lion' found throughout
central, west and| ||||||||northern
Africa and India, encompassing
the last Asiatic Lion population| ||||||||in the Gir Forest. The most significant change isthat the Asiatic lion is| ||||||||now considered a sub population

made
it harder to plan|| |and run traditional
fundraising
events and talks with many zoos not|| |holding
public talks even when restrictions were slowly lifted, thanks to|| |the ease ofonline talks and events we were still able to carry out these|| |talks in a slightly different way.|| |The Lion Keepers Resource Group was launched
in March
in|| |cooperation
with Apex Extreme starting
with information
gathered
by|| |trustees and Apex Extreme. Over the following
months several|| |resources have been added by different zookeepers
and the password|| |has been given to keepers at various different zoos all over the country.|It| |is hoped that this would give something
back to our zoo supporters
by|| |providing
them with a place to share information
on all aspects of lion|| |care and husbandry
techniques
including a care guide from the welfare|| |based organisation
Wild Welfare. Trustees hope that the LKRG will|| |continue to grow in number
ofresources
with over 20resources available|| |currently
and potentially
even lead to workshops
based on conservation|| |and husbandry
sharing.|| |Support From Zoos|| |The restrictions ofthe Covid-19 Pandemic
in the earlier part of2021 did|| |make our traditional
work with zoos more difficult to carry out similar to|| |2020.Talks and larger gatherings
became very hard to carry out with|| |many zoos not holding events to celebrate World Lion Day. f1392.12|| |came from Folly Farm Adventure
Park &Zoo who were the only zoo to|| |donate to us directly this year with some still suffering the afier effects of|| |the Covid-19 Pandemic. This comes from 10%ofprofits from their|| |adoption sales which are split between their chosen conservation|| |partners. Aside from a large donation,
Folly Farm also designed
and|| |installed a large educational
sign in October detailing
the threats oflions|| |in the wild and the work that they support through
their donations
towards|| |our conservation
projects. The sign includes a donations
box. Trustees|| |are incredibly
grateful to Folly Farm for their support which has sofar
totalled tof4142, close to a third ofour entire income so far.|| |Support From Other Charities|| |We have continued
to work with Apex Extreme on the Lion Keepers|| |Resource Group and the Walk For Lions sponsorship
event detailed|| |below. Apex Extreme also carried out fundraising
events by holding a|| |stall at Little Owl Farm Park in Worcestershire
throughout
the Christmas|| |season and weekends.|| |S
