Thanks to :

From Linda: "Our entire team would like to express our heartfelt thanks for the support we’ve received from Germany’s leading lights in solar power, which has made a significant difference to the sustainability of our project and a previously disadvantaged group’s quality of life in a very sunny part of the world. We would hope to see this as a flagship solar project in this region (and South Africa in general), as we are wholeheartedly committed to this method of renewable resource, and the impeccable quality of the product - worthy of the White Lions, King of Kings.”

Breaking News: First White Lions born to the project in their natural habitat

After nearly 14 years of technical extinction in their natural endemic habitat, three snow white lion cubs have been born to the project in the Greater Timbavati region.

Historical Perspective

More elusive than the African leopard, rarer than the legendary Snow Leopard of the Himalayas, and as white as the polar bear of Alaska, the birth of these three cubs is a momentous occasion that heralds a new era for this rare lineage.

There are only an estimated 500 white lions worldwide - in captivity. Regarded by African tribal elders as the most sacred animal on the African continent, this rarest of rarities have been hunted to extinction in the wild by trophy hunters and poachers who pay astronomical sums to shoot a white lion for pleasure. They have also been hunted in captivity in a notorious malpractice known as ‘canned lion hunting.’ No law protects them from being wiped off the face of the earth.

Our most enthusiastic and unparalleled expression of White Lion Pride was, without doubt, our visit to present our "Madiba, White Lion" play to Mr Mandela himself! 25 Learners from Funjwa Primary School in Acornhoek and their educators along with 6 representatives from the Global White Lion Protection Trust traveled to Johannesburg to meet with Mr Mandela.

Words are in short supply to describe the profound joy and celebration experienced by us all. We are truly grateful for the support and careful guidance of our friend and advisor, MP Mninwa Mahlangu (Chairperson of the National Council of Provinces - South African Parliament) and the Nelson Mandela Foundation in coordinating this special event. To the learners of Funjwa, we can only say: "Halala White Lion-hearted performers, Halala!"

There are numerous ways in which you can contribute to White Lion Reintroduction. Become a member or donate online. White Lion conservation starts with each of us! Read More

We are urgently appealing for funds for the second phase of the White Lion Reintroduction Project. Funding is required specifically for the ongoing management of our scientific research, anti-poaching and fence monitoring activities, habitat management, veterinary care and predation requirements.

As a scientific reintroduction programme, we are not a commercial reserve. To ensure the wildness of the White Lions in their endemic habitat, we are not open to public visitation. We, therefore, rely on donations and do not benefit from funds resulting from tourism activities.

You can become a member; sponsor a "Day of Freedom"; send and e-card; donate through planned giving; or donate directly.
