The Last Lions

 Jouberts share vulnerability of species during ‘Big Cat Week’

 “One of the alarming things for us, which was the sort of genesis of this film and this ‘Big Cat Week,’ actually, is that we discovered that in our lifetimes, lion numbers have dropped from 450,000 down to 20,000, and the leopard numbers are from 700,000 down to 50,000,” said Dereck Joubert.

The two-hour premiere of “The Last Lions” airs Dec. 16.
