The Charity
Kevin Richardson FoundationThe Kevin Richardson Foundation is a non-profit conservation organisation with nature’s most majestic creature, the lion, at its heart.
Launched in early 2018, the Foundation is committed to changing and reversing the state of Africa’s declining lion population by purchasing habitat and raising awareness to create safe, natural spaces where lions and other native species can flourish. By partnering with specialised organisations and engaging with disadvantaged communities on the fringes of these protected areas, the Foundation also aims to minimise human/wildlife conflict whilst improving living conditions for local villages. The Foundation is also committed to helping bring an end to the deplorable practice of canned lion hunting and the lion bone trade. These practices are legal in South Africa and have resulted in approximately 10,000 lions being held in largely unregulated captive environments.
With scientists predicting the extinction of lions in the wild by 2050, there is an urgent need to address this crisis. In addition, awareness is needed around ethical tourism practices to prevent the perpetuation of canned hunting and lion bone industries.

The Effect Your Donations Have
Your kindness and support helps with our partnership, education and land projects. Find out more here.
Partnerships
The Kevin Richardson Foundation believes strongly in collaboration with likeminded individuals. Conservation is a team effort and it is only through working together across multiple platforms that common goals will be reached.
The Foundation has partnered with various organisations during the past few years, ranging from research and science organisations, filmmakers and assisting other NGOs aim to preserve lion as a flagship species. To find out more about the Foundation’s partnerships, click here.
Education
Education forms a major part of the Kevin Richardson Foundation’s mandate, as they recognise the crucial role it plays in protecting the future of wildlife. The Foundation currently has two education programmes – one for international secondary and the other with their local communities at heart. The international education programme aims to spread awareness of the plight of lions through the youth, by giving them a voice and platform to become lion ambassadors. The local education programme is aimed at the communities on the outskirts of the Dinokeng Big 5 Game Reserve, and educates children between the ages of 3 and 6 on wildlife and the value it holds.
Land
Land is one of the biggest reasons for the reduced numbers of wild lions in Africa, as less than 10% of their original habitat remains. With scientists predicting the extinction of lions in the wild by 2050, wildlife habitat remains a large priority for conservation of the species.
The Kevin Richardson Foundation claimed their first tract of land to protect in perpetuity in 2018, and are currently on the lookout for the next opportunity that arises.
