Post Description

David Youldon is an Englishman with a passion for lions and a determination to stem their decline before it’s too late. Numbers of wild African lions have dropped by as much as 80% in the last 50 years and David and his colleagues at the African Lion & Environmental Research Trust are amongst those fighting to halt the process. They run a controversial programme in which captive-bred lions are encouraged to develop their natural skills so they can live independently and their cubs can be released into the wild.

Episode 1: Following David Youldon and his colleagues at the African Lion & Environmental Research Trust in Zimbabwe as they run a controversial programme designed to halt the declining population of the animals. At the centre, captive lions are encouraged to develop their natural skills so they can live independently and their offspring can be released into the wild. Five-month-old cubs Jabari and Jelani are trained to hunt.

Episode 2: David Youldon and the team oversee a potentially dangerous introduction at the African Lion & Environmental Research Trust in Zimbabwe when two-year-old Sango meets a pair of bigger and stronger brothers called Echo and Etosha. The reserve also welcomes two new arrivals - cubs Bhubesi and Batoka - who have  much training ahead of them.

Episode 3: David takes three lionesses on their first night hunt. They must learn to work together - if they do not hunt as a team they will not survive.
