- 1982–TV EpisodeFelines, an extremely efficient order of predators, cover the globe with species adapted to each type of environment. The cat genus does it alone, having entered into a uniquely semi-domesticated relationship with humans. Pharaonic Egypt was the first civilization known to systematically rely on cats to fight granary rodent infestation, but also venerate feline deities, notably Bast, and massively mummify cats, which were being bred and -illegally- exported. The Roman empire systematically introduced cats into its quarter of the known world, also often as domestic companions, while wild felines were captured for amphitheater fights. In the European feudal age, cats got a bad reputation, mainly by association with witchcraft and heresy, and were often persecuted at the Church's initiative.

- DirectorDereck JoubertStarsJeremy IronsFifty 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.
