PBS - Gorongosa Park Rebirth of Paradise (2015) Part 6 Roaring Back
Experience the incredible and inspiring rebirth of an African wilderness through the eyes of an Emmy Award�-winning wildlife cameraman. American-born, African-raised Bob Poole embarks on an amazing adventure spending two years living in the million-acre paradise of Mozambique's Gorongosa National Park, joining scientists and conservationists in the battle to re-wild this once-legendary nature preserve. Restoring the fabric of life in the park after a long civil war is one of the most ambitious wilderness restoration projects ever attempted. This is no ordinary filming assignment for Poole, as he combines his passion for conservation with his career filming the world's beautiful but vulnerable wild animals. He helps scientists dart and track the park's elusive lions, decodes the behavior of the park's angry elephants, wrestles and studies massive crocs, and helps truck in herds of animals to replace the ones that were lost during the war. In addition to stunning images of Africa's iconic wildlife, Poole shares firsthand one of the most exciting conservation stories happening in the world today.
Part 6 Roaring Back
Wildlife cameraman Bob Poole returns to a transformed Gorongosa and discovers annual rains have flooded the plains and forests, turning what was a dustbowl into a water world. Exploring the park at this special time of year, Poole discovers a huge nesting colony of water birds that proves to be one of the greatest birding spectacles in Africa. All this beauty is threatened again as armed conflict between the country's two political parties flares up, jeopardizing the future of the entire park restoration project.
As floodwaters recede, Bob resumes his search for the Sungue Pride cubs that went missing. After many sleepless nights, he finally meets the park’s new cubs — the future of lions in Gorongosa.
