The sanctuary is home to "Atlas," a Barbary lion, a subspecies thought to be extinct in the wild. Atlas’s lineage traces back to the royal collections of North Africa, and he is part of a critical breeding program to preserve the genetic heritage of this majestic species.

With his impressive mane and commanding presence, Atlas embodies the power and beauty of lions that once roamed the Atlas Mountains. His story has sparked renewed interest in rewilding efforts and the importance of preserving genetic diversity among lions.
