Support the desert lion
Stand with the Kunene communities
DeLHRA is a voluntary non-profit organisation founded in 2017, working with local farming communities to preserve wildlife in the Kunene region of Namibia. Support for the work helps farmers protect their livestock with tools and know-how, and helps keep desert-adapted lions in the landscape.
