Some experts say as many as 40,000 lions once lived in West Africa. But a recent wildlife study estimates that only 400 of the big cats remain. The lions have been pushed out of their homelands. Today, they are fighting for survival in just four protected parks in the area.
一些專家說，曾經有多達四萬頭獅子住在西非。但最新的野生動植物研究報告估計，大概只剩下四百隻大貓了。獅子已經被迫離開家園，他們生活在這個地區四個受到保護的國家公園裡，現正為生存而奮鬥。
The trade for wild-animal meat in Senegal has cut the numbers of other animals in the park that lions would normally eat. The population of animals like the buffalo and roan antelope has decreased by 95 percent over the past 20 years.
塞內加爾的野生動物肉品交易已經削減公園裡的其他動物數量，這些減少的動物通常是獅子的食物。像水牛和馬羚這樣的動物，牠們的數量在過去二十年來已經減少了百分之九十五。
Demba Faye is one of 150 rangers who guard the park. He says the rangers arrested four poachers earlier this year. He says they are fighting hard to save the park. But he says there is not enough money to end illegal hunting.
Demba Faye 是看守公園的一百五十個管理員之一。他說，公園管理員今年年初已經逮捕了四個偷獵者，他們盡力拯救公園，但是沒有足夠的經費杜絕非法狩獵。
