历史上，狮子可能以低密度分布在西非和中非，现在它们主要局限于保护区内的小种群。总数可能在1200到2700之间，最好的估计是1700。无论是在保护区内还是在保护区外，人类都是狮子数量下降的主要原因。关于西非和中非狮子的研究很少，这里总结了几个例子。国际社会正在慢慢意识到该地区狮子面临的威胁，一些保护狮子的倡议已经开始。(C) 2003年中国科学院。由Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS出版。版权所有。
The lion has historically probably been widespread at low densities in West and Central Africa, nowadays they are largely restricted to small isolated populations inside protected areas. The total number is probably between 1200 and 2700, the best possible guesstimate would be 1700. Mankind is the main cause for the suspected decline of lion populations, both inside and outside protected areas. Very little research has been done on West and Central African lions a few examples are summarized here. The international community is slowly becoming aware of threats to lions in the region and some initiatives for lion conservation have started. (C) 2003 Academie des sciences.
