The Lion Country Documentary Series opened to rave reviews and a staggering 4.8 million viewers during prime time in the UK on Wednesday 6th January. The six part ITV series is a fascinating new documentary that follows the life of past African Impact volunteer and British conservationist David Youldon, as well as the ALERT Lion conservation programme founded at our flagship lion rehabilitation project at Antelope Park in Zimbabwe.

David Youldon had this to say in response to the ITV premiere: 
"We have received an overwhelming response from the estimated 4.8 million viewers of the first episode of the docusoap "Lion Country" that was aired on 6th January on ITV in the UK.  To bring awareness to people of the plight of the lions and the work being done on the ground here in Africa to help secure a future for what many consider as the world's most iconic species is incredibly important.  We hope that the series will develop people's interest in finding out more about the species and to start supporting the many admirable projects working in Africa to meet the challenges faced by the African lion.  Just imagine Africa without the lion!?”
