In the study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, wildlife researchers from the National Park Service, UCLA, UC Davis and Utah State University gave the lions a 99.7 percent chance of extinction over the next 50 years unless more lions become part of the gene pool.

Scientists say without any changes, their disappearance would be a rapid descent, with decreasing genetic variability evident as early as 15 years from today, reaching a point of no return in about 35 years.
