The Last Lions

Director:

Fifty years ago there were close to half-a-million lions in Africa. Today there are around 20,000. To make matters worse, lions, unlike elephants, whi...ch are far more numerous, have virtually no protection under government mandate or through international accords. This is the jumping-off point for a disturbing, well-researched and beautifully made cri de coeur from husband and wife team Dereck and Beverly Joubert, award-winning filmmakers from Botswana who have been Explorers-in-Residence at National Geographic for more than four years. Pointing to poaching as a primary threat while noting the lion's pride of place on the list for eco-tourists-an industry that brings in 200 billion dollars per year worldwide-the Jouberts build a solid case for both the moral duty we have to protect lions (as well as other threatened "big cats," tigers among them) and the economic sense such protection would make. And when one takes into account the fact that big cats are at the very top of the food chain-and that their elimination would wreak havoc on all species below them, causing a complete ecosystem collapse-the need takes on a supreme urgency. Show More

Details

The Last Lions (2011) brings attention to the alarming decline in lion populations in Africa. In just fifty years, the number of lions has decreased from approximately half-a-million to only around 20,000. Unlike other endangered species like elephants, lions lack sufficient protection from both government mandates and international agreements.

Husband and wife filmmakers, Dereck and Beverly Joubert, who have been National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence for over four years, present a thought-provoking and meticulously researched documentary. They advocate for the conservation of lions and shed light on the dangers they face, with poaching being a significant threat.

The film poignantly emphasizes the important role lions play in the African ecosystem and the need to preserve their habitats. Through stunning visuals and powerful storytelling, viewers are transported into the world of these majestic creatures, witnessing their daily struggles for survival.

With its compelling narrative and poignant message, The Last Lions serves as a rallying cry for action. It urges audiences to recognize the urgency of the situation and to take a stand in protecting lions and their vulnerable populations.

This documentary is a must-watch for nature enthusiasts, animal lovers, and anyone interested in conservation. It serves as both an eye-opening account of the current state of lion populations and a call to action to secure their future.
