Mission
Mother Lion Alliance is an organization dedicated to public education about the effects of habitat loss and hunting on mountain lions. We seek to spread the message that safeguarding habitat and making choices that support the longevity of mountain lions is an investment in ourselves and the planet that supports us.
We envision a future in which the preservation of mountain lion habitat is of fundamental importance to human society and laws forbid the killing of a mountain lion.
