The work of Dr. Philip Stander, who helped found the Lion Rangers program, was recently spotlighted in a wonderful documentary film, Lions of the Skeleton Coast (trailer above). This stunning documentary follows Dr. Stander’s efforts to record and study the lives of three young lionesses within Namibia’s Skeleton Coast National Park. Stander’s work has been critical to better understanding the desert-adapted lions and it is great to get more of the lions’ story to the world.

Also, check out a very cool behind-the-scenes on the filming.
