The Safina Lion COnseation Fund has been active in ensuring that all of ts actions Carried out in its first year have had a public benefit. All aspects of our conseNation work have been planned to worf( alongside our mission to work with others to protect and monitor lion populations in the wild. The African lion is now classed by the IUCN as vulnerable to extinction. with lions in west Africa now listed as critically endangered. It is in the best interest of the public to ensure that this species does not become extinct where it occurs naturally as in the wild as they are a vital ple of the eco-system in which they live. We work towards our charitable objective to promote the conservation and protection of lions by supporting conservation organisations workin9 to protect lions in their natural habitat. We support organisations whose objectives and actions mirror our own and is work that we could support under our own Gharitable objects. Wrthin this financial year we supported three our of the four of our conservation partners financially which were Lion Guardians, KopeLion and the Mara Prédator Conservation Programme. We plan to contribute to our fourth and newest partner Lion Landscapes in the next financial year. Two trustees also visited the HQ of KopeLion in F8bwary 2023 which is detailed further below. Summary of tha maln activities undèrtaken for the public benefit In relation to these objects (include within this 5ects.on the ststutory declaration that trusteos have had regard to the guidance Issued by the Charity Commlsslon on public benefit) Our charitable objective to advan the education of the public in lion and wildlife conservation has been undertaken by continuing to maintain and update our websile wth educational infomiation on lion behaviour and conservation. This aims to be a resource that can be used by the general public about the threats lions face in the wild and their behaviour. Trustees have also created a Lion Keepers Resource Group together with conservation-based charity Apex Extrerne on our website which is a free resource for lion keepers to share husbandry research with others whiGh has had more resources added this year. Trustees also worl(ed with three zoos on edur2tional and fundraising events for World Lion Day. We also worked with children's author Claire Culliford who had contacted us previously about endorsing her new book which introduces children to endangered animals and environmental issues. A change of course for the books publication has meant that we have been given an online version (written and audio) to share on our website for all to find as a free resource. The trustees conflrm that they have referred to the guidance contained in the charity commissions gèneral guidance on publlc benefit wh8n planning the work of tho charfty and in all decisions made b the trustees.

Additional datails of objectivos and activities (Optional infomiation} The Safina Lion Conservation Fund is Nn entirely by volunteers and no expenses of any description are paid to trustees or conservation advisers, all of whom aGt and work on a voluntary basis. Trustees of the Safina Lion Conservation Fund have established and agreed on a donation policy where any organisation that receives a financial donation from the charity must fit a rtain criterion and the donation must go towards an action that frts at least one of our charitable objects. The work carried out must be work that we Gould carry out via those objects. This donation policy was reviewed and updated during this financial year. You may choose to include further statements, where relevant, about.. policy on grantmaking. policy programme related investment., contribution mad8 by volunteers. As well as our trustees we also have a small group of conservation advisers. All of which are people experienced in conservation and we ask their opinion of any organisalion the trustees may be Gonsidering donating to. Although these advisers do not make any decisions, their advice and feedback are an important resour that trustees can use while making decisions on conservation donations. Trustees are currently planning the development of a similar group of advisors for our educational work which may be implernented next financial year. The financing and printing of activities such as information leaflets and website fees was done personally by trustees and not used by money from the charity account. This allow5 public raised funds to go straight to our conservation and education work. Section D Achievements and Performance Surnmary of the main achievements of tho charity during the year 2023 has been a very exciting year overall starting with a trip to visit our conseNation partner KopeLion in Tanzania and seeing several fundraising events carried out by our supporters and zoo partners over the summer months. This fundraising allowed us to fulfil our basic objectives to sponsor a Lion Guardian and to establish a community- based project wtth KopeLion by stsrting a new boma strengthening scheme with thern. Educational Work & Su ort From Zoos Trustees continued to work on the educational pages of the website to keep th8m as up to date and informative as possible and a¢¢essible to everyone. A new page was created along with a video tracking our visit to Northem Tanzania. what we saw and what we learnt. This page accompanies previous trips to the Maasai Mara in a sirnilar format. Th8 Lion Keepers Resource Group has still been used by keepers and thè resources have now been added to, increasing the number available to 25 different pieces of material to be of interest to zookeepers in their work. Trustees hope to grow this further in 2024 and potentialSy lead to workshops based on conservation and husbandry sharing. The new signage created by the Cotswold Wildlife Park for their new lion house featuring infomation focussing on lion behaviour and conservation and accompanying photos provided by us were installed in April by the park for visitors to read.

Trustees were asked by Claire to endorse one of her newest books of the series 'Lalit Stays Away From Light Pollution. which aims to Introdu children to endangered species and climate issues. in this Instan Lalit is an endangered Asiatic Lion and the issue is light pollution from local villages. After discussion and reading the draft we were happy to endorse the book after a Gouple of small word changes and pleased about how it introduces children to endangered animals and Ihe threats that face animals and our climate around the world. After we initially agreed Claire fad several chalFenges which delayed the planned publishing of the book. Following a slightly different route for her next set of books as part of the series Claire is moving into audio- books but has kindly provided us with a PDF and audio copy of the book for parents to read for their children for us to include on our website. Support From Zoos & World Lion Day Events Trustees were pleased to announo in October that Knowsley Safari have officia51y agreed and pledged to collaborate with us in raising funds and awareness for our conservation partners. An MOU was signed between us and Know51ey Safari, agreeing support for the next three years. We have a long association with the team and the lions at Knowsley, with two of our trustees having worked with the lion pride and many of their keepers past and present taking part in variou5 sponsorship events over the years. We are proud to now be officially linked to Knowsley and its support for in-situ conservation projects. 2023 saw three of zoo partners get involved with educational and awareness events. The team at Cotswold Wildlife Park organised a fundraising weekend to celebrate the opening of their new lion house with members of the team wearing lion costumes organising their own raffle and selling lion related goodies to raise money towards conservation efforts. All money raised was split between thr8e charities including us, Lion Landscapes and KopeLion with all donated £269.07 each. One of our trustees also visited Linton Zoo to carry out educational talks alongside our namesake Safina, talking to visitors about the importance of lion conservation. We were invited to Folly Farm Adventure Park & Zoo for their World Lion Day event on the 10th August We were delighted to be invlted to the zoo to celebrate World Lion Day on the 1 Oth August. Con5ervalion Officer Jack organised loads of fun lion-bas6d activitiès for vistting families. Donations frorn the raffle and the plaster cast paw prints made by Keeper Pete totalled £325.20. It was an outstanding effi)rt from the whole zoo team involved. In December we also received a donation of £736.85 from the profits of their 2023 adoption sales of which 10% gets split between their conservation partner5.

A total of £1632.39. was made through these online fundraising sites. We were very excited to launch our brand new "Ilchokutl Challenge" this August as part of our month4ong celebrations for World Lion Dayl Inspired by our visit to see the KopeLion team earfier this year where we met several of their team of'lion custodians. known by the Maasai word 'Ilchokuti'. 12.5km is the average distance that they walk on a daily basis. sometimes rnuch more in their work to keep livestock, lions and people safe. We launched our first Ilchokuti Challenge wilh the team of the Cotswold Wildlife Park where a team across all departments and one of our trustees took part in a 12.5km sponsored walk after work. A huge thank you to everyone who got involved. The evening was a great success with £730 raised through the event. All rnoney raised as part ol thi5 challenge went towards our brand new boma strengthening sGheme, detailed on further pages in this review. Trustee Pete also took part in his own Ilchokuti Challenge walking along the beaches of the Wirral. After great SUCSs launching OL¢r new challenge, we look forward to ntinuing this annually in the years to come.

In 2022 having added another conservation organisation to support a Gommunity-based project with their community camera trap prograrnme in 2023 we started another community-based project with KopeLion by starting a new boma strengthening scheme with them. This has On again added to our target above to increase involvernent in local community support. Progress on rèaching these goals set above are seen below and set OLrt in more detail below. Reachlng our Goals 1. We have sponsored a Lion Guardian for three years in a row, but with Kuya Kipampa no longer working for the organisation our sponsorship has been transferred to another Guardian Olubi Ole Lairumbe. 2. We have now donated the funds required for a GPS collar for Kope Lion in 2022? and in 2023 we donated the funds required for the Mara Predator Conservation Programme. 3. We have established a new conservation partnership with Lion Landscapes and have donated towards a comrnunity-based project that involves local communities and monitors wildlife including lions. We have now also started a new boma strengthening scheme with KopeLion aiming to reduce the chances of predator attacks on bomas before they occur. Our conservation strategy has now been SUCssfUllY fulfilled within the tirne limit that we envisioned and trustees are now working a new Inservation strategy that will ¢over 2024-2027. Working wlth Conservation Organisations We now work with four conservation partners working in Kenya and Tanzania to protect and monitor lions in the wild. This section details our support and involvement with them throughout 2023. Lion Guardians We have supported Lion Guardians since 2017 and in 2018 we began our sponsorship of Lion Guardian Kuya Kipampa who monitors the area known as 'Risa' outside the Amboseli National Park which we have ntinued every year since. Founded in 2007, Lion Guardians has trained and supported communities at seven drfFerent sites to successfully protect lions across the continent. Their approach involves recruiting young, non-literate Maasai and other pastoralist warrtors to leam the skills needed to effectively mitigate conflids between people and wildlife, monitor lion populations. and help their own communities live with lions. By actively engaging in their solutions-based conservation model, people who were once lion killers are transformed into lion protectors. Following the news that Kuya is no longer part of the organisation our sponsorship has now been transferred to another Guardian. We have now started to sponsor Olubi Ole Lairumbe, who works across the Imbirikani Group Ranch just outside of the Amboseli National Park. Like many Maasai men, Olubi is a previous lion killer and became known by his lion name °Mitiaki° meaning the brave warrior. His transformative journey from a lion killer to a lion protector reflects a unKiue shift in the Maasai culture and he has influenced other young individuals to follow a conservationist path. Trustees decided to continue supporting Lion Guardians this year. The donation of $1500 £1219.22 made in janua 2024 continues to cover Mar¢h 2012 TAR

Future Kln sPro Sponsorin9 of GPS collars to safeguard young male lions to ensure they can sire the next generation of lions while keeping the communities safe. Mara Predator Conservation Programme {Kenya Wildlrfe Trust) The Mara Predator Conservation Programme works under the umbrella of the Kenya Wildlife Trust which focuses predominantly on predator conservation through community work and science-based groundwork. The three goals of the Mara Predator Conservation Programme are to help community members and landowners understand and appreciate the role of predators in the ecosystem, to ensure that key stakeholders in the Greater Mara Ecosystem consistently utilise sound scientific information to inforni conservation strategies and to support stable, healthy predator populations in the Greater Mara Ecosystem by providing scientific eviden for conservation action. Following on from our trustees visit to the Mara in 2020, as previously agreed the MPCP assigned us a young male that was collared in March 2023 using the money donated in 2019, collaring was delayed during the Covid-19 pandemic. The collar was finally deployed onto a four-year-old male named Ole Cook. Living as part a coalition trying to increase its terrf(ory in the 01 Kinyei ConseNancy, rentlY they ventured further and disappeared and when they returned one brother was missing. Wrth no trace of the brother he is believed to be dead but rt is unknown whether he was killed by other lions or people. This collar therefore is vital to track the movements of the two remaining males rf they venture to the same area again and come into further problems. Ole Cook 15 Still collared and the data is being transmitted sucsSfullY and we have been updated on hi5 progress although he is quite hard to find so thotos have not been too readily available! Fundraising was completed in 2023 and £3307.43 was sent in April 2023 to go towards a second collar as part of this project for this organisation. Kope Lion The Kope Lion team have been great at sending regular updates and photos of the collar8d lion Lendepesi. This stems from a donation fflade in May 2022 of £2578 of which the collar was fitted in June 2022. Kope Lion works exclusively in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) in Tanzania where rtain areas are considered rnulti-use and inhabited by both people and wildlife. SinGe being collared his collar allowed the team to monitor his movements, particularly useful as he spent his fair share of time around human settlements. During our visit in February 2023 (detailed further below) we were told by the team that is collar was not working properfy. It was therefore considered a priority to find him arKJ remove the collar so it could b8 taken for possible repair. With no specrfic territory, tracking him was very difficult but he was successfully located by Roimen Lelya, Lion Monitoring and Confli Officer and the collar was retrieved. Even though his collar was only worn for 8 months, it look lace at a crucial time of his develo ent and no March 2012 TAR
Section D Achievements and Performance doubt played a part in keeping him safe. We wish L8ndepesi the best of luck, hopefully one day we'll see him again as an impressive and old adult lion. Two twstees visited the NCA in Febwary 2023 during a tour of Northern Tanzania to visit the KopeLion HQ where they met many members of the team and were showed around much of the area covered by KopeLion team. We had the pleasu of meeting KopeLion founder Ingela Jansson and we spent most of our time with Sally Capper, Head of Strategy & Development, Roimen Lelya, Lion Monitoring and Conflict Officer and Ololotu Munka, Programmes Coordinator. Their mission was to immerse us into their work and the importance of Goexistence. The animals helped him greatly as our first animal sighting was a trio of zebra grazing happily amongst the herds of cattle grazed by the indigenous Maasai. During the day we would visit four of their Ilchokuti. Ilchokuli means 'guardian' and Kope Lion employs 28, they are all local Maasai living in the NCA working to do anything to prevent conflicts from happening this includes waming local herders within their area about the presence of lions. treating wounded livestoGk and strengthening bomas. As well as showing us their efforts on the ground, Ihe bomas they had strengthened, a cow being treated after a suspected lion or hyena attack and the telemetry equipment that they use we were also shown their lion ID card system and new collars that they had yet to deploy. We learnt so much from our trip and very grateful to all of the KopeLion team who took the time to meet us and discuss and explain many aspects of their work with us. In particular we would like to make a special mention of Roimen Lelya, a local Maasai who has worked with KopeLion for 10 years, he reminded us of the challenges that the team and the people face in this landscape while being Gonstantty optimistic and passionate, a multi-use area for people and wildlife is always going to present problems when those species include lions and leopards but the team work hard to promote coexistence which they believe is possible. We leamt so much from Roimen about Maasai values and the way that he and his people respect the wildlsfe that they live amongst and how much their cattle mean to them. Trustees also visited the Serengeti, Tarangire and Lake Manyara National Parks seeing a wide variety of different lion habitats from open savannah. mourrtains and jungle. After our visst to the NCA and meeting the KopeLion team we were very interested in these bomas and discussions started aboLrt how we could support them in this part of their work. With an initial funding package due to finish we thought this was something that we could help with and pledged to sponsor boma strengthening. After a successful fundraising drive in the summer £1800 was sent to KopeLion. This will cover 10 bomas with the premise being that KopeLion pay 80% and the boma owner pays 20%. With many bomas and livestock around it is important to keep livestock safe from the wandering lions and other predators that live here. We are working with KopeLion to work with boma owners to strengthen bomas through sourcing stronger wooden poles or planting several layers of thorny bush to reinforce bomas to make them harder for predators to break in to. Through our Boma Strèngthening Scheme we will cover the cost of 80% of the efforts from KopeLion to reinforce each boma, while the boma owner still pays the remaining 20%. Our 80% cost will be £180 and will be used to sourc8 the materials required for reinforcement. TAR March 2012
Section D Achievements and Performance Lion Landscapos Lion Landscapes wa3 f¢)unded in April 2016 wtth the aim of addressing key challenges facing camivore conservation today. In 2020 the Ruaha Carnivore Project merged wilh Lion Landscapes for even greater conservation impact. Their ¢ollaboralive and adaptive approach strengthens conservation efforts to secure important landscapes for viable populations of large carnivores. They do this in three main ways through building partnerships, science and data and innovation. Wild lions require huge landscapes to thrive - often including land relied on by people and livestock. A Lion Landscape is a landscape thal supports a viable population of wild lions, or any other pinnacle camivore species. To do this it must also support healthy wild pY populations. healthy habitat, and benefit local people. Their lion conservation and research work focuses on how local communities. their livestock and lions can co- exist in a lion landscape. Our main area of interest in Lion Landscapes is the Ruaha Carnivore Project {RCPI which was established in 2009 by now joint Lion Landscapes CEO Dr. Amy Dickman. We have supported their Community Camera Trap programme. fulfilling our desire to supwt another community-based project. Instead of their researchers setting out camera Iraps themselves on village land, Lion Landscapes have started to train and employ local communiiies to do it - and the images they collect translate into benefits for the Gommunity. with each animal captured on camera generaing a certain number of points. Villages are organised into groups of four and mpete against each other on a quarterfy basis. The winning village in each quarter then reiveS the greatest share of community benefits (Gurrently split equally between heatthcare, veterinary medicines and education) followed by a lesser amount rolled down to the second, third and then the fourth village. The programme has proved successful in creating behavioural change by engaging and training local people directly in wildlife monitoring on their land. It also demonstrates an extremely Glear link beMeen the presence of wildlife (especially camivores) and the provision of local benefits. In July 2022 a donation of £500 was sent to cover the cost of two of these camera traps as part of the programme. Trustees are proud to be involved in a project that focuses on giving communities a tangible benefit to living in such close proximity to lions and other wildlife. We are working on another donation of £500 for two camera traps to be sent in Spring 2024. As w811 as assisting all of our conservation partners financially we also spread word of their work and their mission via our website and any public talks that we do.
