More Tales of the Desert: Inside Noah's Ark: TV Schedule: Rocky Mountain PBS

The last documentary in the trilogy starts as an adventure. Gus van Dyk flies two uncaged, sedated, black-maned Kalahari lions across South Africa on the floor of a small plane to inject fresh blood into the inbred Tswalu prides. If the lions wake, they'll have to be killed to protect everyone on board. As the story progresses it expands to cover endangered black rhino and cheetah and sounds a grim warning: That we humans are blindly destroying the last of Africa's great wildlife, leaving only "islands of conservation" frozen in time and place, for our children.
