Disney's new live-animated movie Mufasa: The Lion King enlists Rafiki to relay the legend of Mufasa to young lion cub Kiara, daughter of Simba and Nala, with Timon and Pumbaa lending their signature schtick. Told in flashbacks, the story introduces Mufasa as an orphaned cub, lost and alone until he meets a sympathetic lion named Taka—the heir to a royal bloodline. The chance meeting sets in motion an expansive journey of an extraordinary group of misfits searching for their destiny—their bonds will be tested as they work together to evade a threatening and deadly foe.
Thirty years ago, the hit animated film The Lion King released and permanently established itself as a classic. But the reality is that since the original film was first released, Africa has lost half of its lions.
In celebration of Mufasa: The Lion King, Disney has relaunched the global Protect the Pride conservation campaign to support the Wildlife Conservation Network’s Lion Recovery Fund (LRF) and LRF's partners working across Africa to double the number of lions by 2050..
Disney’s “Protect the Pride” campaign first launched in 2019, enabling LRF to expand its reach and cumulatively fund more than 300 projects working across 25 countries in Africa. Today at least 50 percent of the sites in which the LRF is investing are already showing stable or increasing populations of lions.
Additionally, LRF support has helped sustain livelihoods and employ thousands of people across Africa, removed 83,000 snares that could harm wildlife, and brought together communities to co-develop solutions that benefit both people and wildlife. With the additional funding from this relaunched campaign, LRF will continue to invest in innovative and effective projects across Africa that can recover lions, restore their landscapes, support sustainable economic development, and achieve a future with thriving savannah landscapes where Africa’s people and its lions can coexist.
