A PLACE FOR US, an 8-part documentary audio series from Lost Boy Productions in partnership with the Southern African Conservation Trust, follows award-winning filmmaker Bruce Donnelly and world-renowned lion conservationist Dr. Paul Funston on a road trip across Southern and Central Africa to witness the challenges lions face, the extraordinary ways they adapt, and to meet the communities and conservationists fighting to protect this vulnerable species. This series sets out to ask the defining question: Is there still a place for wild lions in Africa’s rapidly changing future?
Africa’s wild lions once roamed from the southern Cape to Cairo and beyond. Today, as few as 20,000 remain living in the wild, lost from over 90% of their historic range and extinct in 26 African countries. Their remaining strongholds in southern and east Africa now face unprecedented pressure as habitats shrink, human-wildlife conflict intensifies, and poaching and climate change pose an existential threat to their survival – all against the backdrop of a rapidly growing human population set to double by 2050.
