Mainly because people are expanding into areas where they can graze their growing numbers of cattle, and this leads to conflict where many lions are killed. Also, hunting is still allowed on a limited basis, and lions have been persecuted by governments in National parks, where they are supposed to be protected, yet not enough rangers in the field are being trained to do the job.

Do lions have any threats?

The greatest threats to the lion species are sport hunting and conflict with farmers over livestock. The lions appear to be declining very fast in many of the remoter parts of Africa, outside the tourist spotlight. The estimate of 20,000 or fewer compares with a population put at about 200,000 in the early 1980s. The hunters traditionally target male lions. The resulting low density of male lions is exacerbated by the hunters' habit of shooting juvenile males when they find no mature adults. So now you have your answer, SAVE THE LIONS !!!
