Wednesday 8pm Martin Clunes & A Lion Called Mugie - Nature/Documentary

Martin Clunes joins a mission to make wildlife history by returning endangered lions to Kora National Park, the Kenyan nature reserve of "Born Free" fame. The effort begins with Mugie, a lion cub orphaned at just three weeks old who had been washed up on a riverbank 140 miles away after a flash flood. Clunes soon finds out why, for lions, there is now no "free" left. Poaching and destruction of the natural habitat are threatening much of Africa’s wildlife and it is thought Kenya’s population of about 2,000 lions faces extinction in less than 20 years. The way forward is to create habitats to keep lions in and poachers, predators and farmers out.
