Since January 1st, he has been living with two lions in their den in an attempt to [raise money and awareness](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vital-ground-foundation) for Wildlife Rehab of Hernando Florida. When I say that James Jablon is [living with lions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reserve-hotel), I literally mean that he is sleeping in a bale of hay in their den. You can follow along with James Jablon's month-long lion sleepover by checking out the live-streaming video above. Hopefully, these lions are fed regularly enough to keep Jablon from being their next meal. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 17% | Activity: 80% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Social Good](https://www.trendhunter.com/socialgood) > [Activism](https://www.trendhunter.com/activism) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Live-streamed Animal Encounters:** Opportunity for businesses to offer live-streaming experiences of unique animal encounters for fundraising and awareness purposes. - **Fundraising with Unconventional Experiences:** Businesses can create opportunities for individuals to pledge funds in exchange for participating in unique experiences, such as living among animals for a period of time. - **Awareness Campaigns Through Extreme Challenges:** Opportunity for organizations to raise awareness for a cause by challenging individuals to undertake extreme and attention-grabbing activities, like living with animals in their natural habitats. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Wildlife Conservation Organizations:** Organizations focused on wildlife conservation can leverage the trend of extreme challenges to raise awareness and funds for their cause. - **Remote Adventure Tourism:** The tourism industry can explore the potential of offering remote adventure experiences, such as living with animals, as an alternative and unique travel option. - **Online Fundraising Platforms:** Online platforms specializing in fundraising can capitalize on the trend of pledging funds for extreme and unconventional experiences to support various causes. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wild Animal-Decorated Gowns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schiaparelli-lion-head.md) - [Awareness-Raising Cheetah Initiatives](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/return-of-the-cheetah.md) - [Cat-Owning Couple Series](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/liveclear-love-clear.md) - [Pop Star-Themed Animals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/taylor-swiftthemed-cats.md) - [Livestream Adoption Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/february-14th-livestream.md) - [Practical On-the-Go Storage Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lion-latch.md) - [Glam Pet Adoption Pop-Ups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uber-showcats.md) - [Animal Welfare Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/food-lion1.md) - [Challenge-Park Adventures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beast-land-theme-park.md)
