Although there are stronger animals than the asiatic lion, the others are not direct predators because they do not actually hunt the lions. only when the lions seem a threat to them or there children, will it attack. There is one significant predator, though, and that is us.

because alot of habitats are being towrn down to make like paper and other stuff and alot of mamals and carnivors all hunt for the same food
Lions are endangered due to two main reasons.

 Loss of habitat - with growing human populations, humans are venturing deeper and deeper into forests in search of land thereby shrinking the lions habitat

 Hunting - killing and hunting lions was considered a brave mans sport in the early 1990's. This caused a significant demise in lion numbers.

Governments worldwide have banned hunting lions and as a result, their numbers are stabilizing as of now.

Humans have affected lions in 2 ways:

1. Habitat destruction

2. Hunting

Habitat destruction is due to human population, wherein humans encroach into forests where lions live.

Hunting is the biggest threat. humans have hunted lions for centuries. Killing a lion was considered a brave act and almost the entire Asian lion population was lost due to hunting. There are only a few hundred of these asian lions alive in the forests of India

Lions are located in the African savanna where there are few people, so their contract with humans is very little. Tigers in India do more damage to humans than a lion.
