The Fight to Save Senegal's Lions: Hunting, Culture, and Protection in Niokolo-Koba National Park.

In Niokolo-Koba National Park, rangers work hard to protect lions from poachers. These bad people hunt lions to sell their parts for money.

Lion parts are used to make special charms called gris-gris. People believe these charms have magical powers.

Gris-gris are used for many reasons, like protection or good luck. People get them from religious leaders called marabouts.

The demand for lion parts is very high, so people smuggle them into Senegal. This is a big problem because it's making lions disappear.

Rangers and conservation groups are trying to stop the illegal trade. But they need stronger laws and help from the government to really make a difference.
