Lions vs Coffee! | The Lion Whisperer

This week the Kevin Richardson Foundation is launching the #onecupforacause challenge. With over 2.2 BILLION cups of coffee drunk around the world every single day, what if we donated just one ‘coffee’ a month to fight for the lions’ future?

The Kevin Richardson Wildlife Sanctuary's mission is to provide a self-sustaining African carnivore sanctuary for the purposes of wild species preservation through education, awareness and funding, especially pertaining to the rapid decline of large carnivores in Africa due to habitat loss, human-predator conflict, unscrupulous hunting, disease and their illegal trade.

To raise awareness, Kevin has now set up his YouTube Channel 'LionWhispererTV'. The channel is all about raising awareness about not only the declining numbers of lions, but also how this rapid decrease is happening. By watching these videos, you are directly contributing to our scheme of land acquisition.

Kevin captures the majority of his footage on GoPro cameras, allowing the viewer to get as close as possible to the lions.

By doing this, Kevin hopes to give people an insight into the lives of these beautiful creatures and to let them see just what they can do to help. You can nearly touch them.

Just your average day drinking coffee with your lions and using one as a coffee table 😂

This is one of the noblest cause & ideas i have seen

I'm in! I don't drink coffee but i'll happily throw my wife's out and donate on her behalf lol.

I love the "Cat Dad" mug!!!! Perfect for Kevin!

OMG! There is a light bulb over my head. Kevin should pair up with Starbucks or other coffee brands and make it possible for people to donate at the cash register when they buy their cups of coffee. I don't know how to make the logistics happen... but I'm sure that someone could. It would also help to spread awareness!

This is one of my favourite videos of Kevin. Any video where the lions are being playful is so uplifting and all my worries go away for those moments.
