Lions used to occur throughout South Africa but due to their merciless persecution in South Africa (due to conflict with humans and their interests), they are now mainly restricted to protected areas. They only occur naturally in the Northern and Eastern parts of South Africa. There are an estimated 2,300 wild lions remaining in South Africa. South Africa is one of only seven countries where there are thought to be stable lion populations.
