Description

You look straight ahead. You try to breathe normally. You can smell the scent of the huge cat that is staring back. You are a cameraman. He is the King of Beasts. Your only thought is "I hope he has eaten today." Let National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence Dereck and Beverly Joubert bring you closer to the power and majesty of the regal African lion. With fewer than 25,000 wild lions now left on Earth, the authors make a passionate plea to young readers to take an active role in securing a future for these magnificent creatures.

About the Author

Beverly Joubert was born in South Africa in 1957. She began her career in photography in Botswana's famous Savute region where she and her husband, film director Dereck Joubert, started making natural history films.Beverly's work has appeared in many issues of NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC magazines, including the cover story ''Lion of Darkness''. Her work has also been published in over a hundred magazines including Geo, African Wildlife and of course NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.Beverly is co-founder of Wildlife Films, which has produced ten films for National Geographic Television over the past 18 years. Some of these have received cult status, and it is estimated that the film Eternal Enemies reached and continues to reach more than 100 million people. She has received two Emmy awards and a Peabody Award for her production and sound recording role on their film Reflections of Elephants. She is also credited as the producer of the recent Walt Disney Pictures feature film, Whispers: An Elephant's Tale. Beverly has won various categories of the BBC wildlife photography competition over the years.There is little doubt that Beverly is an icon among woman photographers of Africa. Her knowledge of the place and its spirit comes out in her work. Her conservation involvement extends to being a member of the Chobe Wildlife Trust and a founding member of the Wild Places Foundation.Beverly specializes in capturing a moment of natural history that crystallizes the action and power of animals doing what they do without their being aware of us. Her recent exhibit in France was about poaching and what Botswana's military is doing to stop it. Here she used the hidden camera techniques to let soldiers and poachers interact naturally treating them as equals to her usual animal subjects.
