Saving Africa's lions

A South African couple who've spent a lifetime trying to save Africa's big cats

There's been an international outcry about the killing of Cecil the lion by an American dentist hunting in Zimbabwe.

Dereck and Beverly are based in Botswana and spend most of their time living in the bush.
