Ob"ectives and activities
The charitable objects of the Safina Lion Conservation Fund are..
To promote for the benefit of the public the conservation and protection of
lions by:
a) Supporting conservation projects in such ways Ihat are charitable
Summary of the objects of the
charlty Set out in its

b) Conserving and protecting the natural habitats of lions
¢} Supporting and publishing research into the conseNation and
husbandry of lions
2) To advance the education of the public in lion and wildlife ¢on5ervation
by such means as the trustees decide including through the support and
blishin
of research.
The Safina Lion COnse￿ation 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.

public benefit In relation to
these objects (include within

declaration that trusteos have
had regard to the guidance
Issued by the Charity
Commlsslon on public

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.

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.

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.

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

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.
We were prevlously approached by children's author Claire Cullrford,

had several conservation organisations endorsing the series for its
educational value. 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 fa￿d 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. This makes a total of £1,062.05 donated from
the zoo throughout 2023. Trustees are incredibly grateful to Folly Farm

Involving the local communty
In August 2021 trustees published a Conservation Strategy Review which
evaluated the progress of our wort< so far in line with our 2018 Strategy
and planning our fLrture impact. Trusteès decided on three goals to focus
on for the next three years. These include..
1. Continue the sponsorship of our Lion Guardian Kuya Kipampa
annually.
2. Save to donate and replace both lion collars wilh Kope Lion and
the Mara Predalor Conservation Programme when required due
to the success seen so far.
3. Investigate a further organisationlproject or a project run by a
current conservation partner to donate towards so that we can
increase our support for our focus areas to involve local
communities and lions outside protected areas.

conservation partners. 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 SUC￿ssfUllY 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

his yearly salary into 2025 as he monitors his particular area to ensure
that the lions and the habitat remain protected. By sponsorin9 Mitiaki we
are assured that our donation will not be used purely for administration
fees and would impact work on the ground to protect lions in the wild.
Future Kln

Sponsorin9 of GPS collars to safeguard young male lions to ensure they

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, re￿ntlY 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 suc￿sSfullY 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

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

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.

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 p￿Y 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 re￿iveS 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. Increasing their audience and increasing

Trustees would like to express their thanks and gratitude to the support shown by our supporters, both zoos.
other charities and organisations and the general public that have allowed us to cary on supporting work to
protect and monitor lion populations in the wild.
Following our visit to Northem Tanzania this year we intend to us8 2024 as an opportunity to continue the
growlh of our new boma strengthening scheme which was developed after our visit to see the wotk of
KopeLion. Future fundraising in 2024 will go focus on these communty-based projects. Trustees are also
working on a new conservation strategy which will be launched in the summer of 2024 which will plan our
conseNation goals for the next three years, taking us to our tenth anniversary in 2027. Once the strategy is
written we intend to start fundraising for more GPS Gollars with KopeLion and the Mara Predator
Conservation Programme rf deemed appropriate.
Trustees will continue to write an Annual Review to Complement the Annual Report for the general reader.
Any new projects will continue to be discussed with conse)vation advisors and decision will be made fully by
the trustees although the amount of funds raised dictate the amount of work that we can carry out financially
and we do not expect to add any more conservation partners to our conseDiation work at this point in time.
