The Grand Canyon Association and Grand Canyon National Park have created the Adopt-a-Lion program to help preserve and protect all Grand Canyon wildlife.
By joining the Adopt-a-Lion program, you can help protect the mountain lion, the park’s largest predator and a critical part of the Grand Canyon ecosystem, but also support mule deer, Abert’s squirrels, Grand Canyon rattlesnakes, humpback chubs, California condors and all of the other species that call the park home.
Adoption costs as little as $25.00. Adopt-a-Lion and support science at Grand Canyon today!
