The park is very large, with mountains and rivers.
So, there are no fences in some parts of the park.
Lions often go out of the park at night.
They go to the farms and eat the cows.
As a result, farmers have to kill the lions to protect their cows.
In 1990, about 15,000 lions lived in Kenya.
But now, there are far fewer lions.
A Kenyan boy named Richard Turere helped solve this problem and protect the lions.
