- 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, which 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.

- The only constants in Dr. Savannah's workday are her blue scrubs and goofy laugh. Day in and day out, this young Métis veterinarian juggles everything from emergency surgery on a fawn that was attacked by a cougar, to releasing an owl back into the wild after nursing it back to health, to examining a schoolteacher's ailing classroom pet gecko...all before noon! Nestled deep in rural Drayton Valley, Alberta, life at the mixed-practice Rocky Rapids Veterinary Service is anything but predictable...and Dr. Savannah wouldn't have it any other way! Despite graduating from vet school seven years ago, this young vet still can't believe she gets paid to live out her childhood dream. Her childhood days were spent watching Dr. Doolittle and "saving" the family dog with a toy stethoscope. Today, her house is an ever-growing menagerie of rescued critters she can't resist bringing home. When she isn't saving animals' lives, Dr. Savannah is exploring her Indigenous identity. Her Métis bloodline was kept a close family secret for many years, and her true cultural roots weren't confirmed until she was almost finished at vet school. Now, on a mission to learn everything she can about her heritage, the series will follow Dr. Savannah on her quest to discover her new identity, who her ancestors are, and what it means to be a Métis woman. DR. SAVANNAH: WILD ROSE VET features a variety of characters who come into our vet's world to help guide her journey. Her Aunt Jennifer will help Savannah to uncover the Howse family's significant place in Métis history through a visit to Victoria Settlement, an historic community in Alberta. Dr. Savannah dedicates many hours to volunteering her time with organizations to help low income pet owners in the city of Edmonton with Connie Varnhagen and her organization Alberta Helping Animals Society. The chatty and fun-loving duo also travel far to Canada's High Arctic offering their services to keep northern pets healthy and pet owners happy in Cambridge Bay, Nunavut. At home in Drayton Valley, Dr. Savannah has a cherished friendship with Lil Dupperon, the local wildlife animal rescuer. Together, they help and release wild birds - such as a majestic Great Grey owl - and they help a baby fawn to get back in the wild via an innovative mother deer-fawn adoption process. A member of the Métis Nation of Alberta, Dr. Savannah believes strongly in volunteering her expertise, doing so by visiting remote First Nations communities to help with the roaming dog populations and providing free pet care for Indigenous families. It's a huge responsibility, but Dr. Savannah is determined to connect with, and give back to, the people with whom she has always - unknowingly - belonged.
