This series meets the courageous women who are helping the endangered Asiatic lion make a spectacular comeback. Once populous across the whole of Asia from Mesopotamia to India, the Asiatic lion was hunted ferociously during the 19th century and reduced to a small group, huddled up in the Gir Forest of western India. But 100 years on, the species is making a startling comeback, thanks to a brigade of fearless young women. This series follows these Lion Queens as they patrol the jungle, chasing down heavily-armed poachers, capturing leopards, hand-rearing lion cubs abandoned by the pride and treating lions in pain. It is a fascinating adventure offering a window on this endangered species and those working hard to save it.
