In the remote Skeleton Coast of Namibia, a handful of lions survive where life should be impossible. They are the last true desert-adapted lions—fewer than 70 remain in the wild.

They hunt seabirds and seals. They endure blistering heat, endless dunes, and weeks without water. Their existence is one of the most remarkable wildlife stories on Earth—and one of the most endangered.

Without immediate support, their story may end.

Dr. Philip Stander has spent over 20 years documenting and protecting these lions. Alone in the desert, he tracks their movements, studies their behavior, and intervenes when human-wildlife conflict puts them at risk. But this vital work urgently needs funding—for satellite collars, fuel, vehicle repairs, and survival in the field.
