Conservationists to move 7 lions from South Africa to Rwanda
The five female lions and two males will be transferred beginning Monday to Rwanda's Akagera National Park by truck and plane in a journey lasting more than 24 hours, said African Parks, a South Africa-based group that runs national wildlife parks in Africa.
The International Union for Conservation of Nature listed the lion as vulnerable in an update this month of its "red list" of species facing survival threats.
