Our mission is to assist in the conservation and protection of threatened and endangered species, as well as habitat conservation efforts, when and where possible. Using conservation photography as one of the principal mediums of communication, the Association aims to promote awareness and raise funds through photography exhibitions, other appropriate events, and the sale of fine art limited editi

on photographs, books, and clothing articles. Seventy per cent of the proceeds will directly benefit conservation projects or other environmental efforts.

Focused On Nature wishes you a happy International Dog Day!

Dogs are companions, joy, solace, pure love, loyalty, devotion, amusement and tranquility. They bring us more than we could ever ask for.

They may well be angels in disguise and, every day, make our lives a little bit more worth living.

Sadly, our canine friends tend to only live a maximum of 17 years, with the smaller ones living much longer than the big. The Focused On Nature team/family are big fans of dogs. And FON is a regular donor to the Walnut Tree Sanctuary, the Humane Society, Proyecto 4 Patas in Cuatro Cienegas, Mexico, as well as Rifugio Fratelli Minori in Olbia, Sardinia.

Focused On Nature wishes you a happy World Lion Day!

Discounting mountain lions (also known as pumas, panthers or cougars), there are two main species of lion — the Asiatic lion
and the far better known, iconic African lion.

African lions live in scattered populations across sub-Saharan Africa, preferring plains and savannah and rarely entering forests.

Cubs are born with spots, which fade as they age.
Males average a body length of 184-208 centimeters and a tail length of 82-93 centimeters. And on average they weigh 187-225 kilos.
Females’s body length is 160-184 centimeters, with a tail length of 72-90 centimeters. On average females weigh 118-143 kilos.

The skeletal muscles of the lion make up 58.8% of its body weight and represent the highest percentage of muscles among mammals.

Sadly the African population of lions has declined massively these past decades. In 1975, it was estimated that since the 1950s, lion numbers had decreased by half to 200,000 or fewer.
We have lost up to 75% of African lions over the last 5 decades. Causes of decline include habitat loss, poaching and snares, human-animal conflict and prey depletion.

Asiatic lions inhabit what remains of forests in the hill systems of Gir and Gimar in Gujarat, India.
Males measure up to 2.92 meters in length and weigh about 160 kilos. Females weigh 100-130 kilos.

Asiatic lions, which have recovered from the brink of extinction, are considered endangered and fully protected in India.

Once upon a time lions had colonized Southeast Europe!

And evidence shows that African and Asiatic lions once shared overlapping ranges and continuous distributions in North Africa and the Middle East.

All the photographs in this post were taken in Kenya or Tanzania in 1997, 2005 or 2014.
