It's hard to estimate how many white lions are alive, as the number fluctuates greatly. One estimate states that there are roughly 100,000 white lions left in the world. Most of the white lion population resides in zoos.
There are only Panthera leo the sort of lion that you imagine and mountain lions (cougars) which are not actual lions and therefore dont realy count.
The people are killing the lions so there for there are only a few left in the world!!
Currently there are only two species/breeds of lions that are alive. They are the African Lion and the Asiatic Lion. Other species of Lions like the European Lion, the American Cave Lion and the Barbary Lion were all hunted to extinction centuries ago. As of now, all lion species are endangered. The Asiatic Lion is critically endangered with only a few hundred species left in the wild.
