They were able to see very
19、 small farms and towns that are taing over the once-open plains. Lions need wide-open spaces to hunt. As the number of people and towns has increased, the African plains have become less welcoming to lions. The number of lions has dropped from about 100, 000 in 1960 to 32,000 today. West Africa has
20、seen the largest drop fewer than 500 lions remain there.Researchers worry that the number of lions will decrease even more as the number of humans moving onto the savannas increases.
