The African lion is considered Vulnerable by the IUCN. The causes are primarily human conflict with lions, habitat loss, disease, and fragmentation of lion habitat (small populations becoming isolated because of human development cutting them off from other populations).
The Asiatic lion is considered Endangered by the IUCN, and the causes are hunting (back over 100 years ago they were nearly completely wiped out by hunting), and possibly habitat loss.
