The former popularity of the Barbary Lion as a zoo animal provides the only hope to ever see it again in the wild in North Africa.

After years of research into the science of the Barbary Lion and stories of surviving examples, WildLink International, in collaboration with Oxford University, launched their ambitious International Barbary Lion Project.

They are using the very latest DNA techniques to identify the DNA ' fingerprint ' of the Barbary Lion subspecies.

Although the Barbary may be extinct, and is certainly extinct in the wild, WildLink International identified a handful of lions in captivity around the world that may be descended from the original Barbary Lion.

The best candidates will then enter a selective breeding programme slated to ' breed back ' the Barbary Lion.
