His mission is the conservation and understanding of the large predators and key African wildlife species that determine the course of all conservation in Africa. His coverage of unique predator behavior has resulted in 22 films, 10 books, six scientific papers, and many articles for National Geographic magazine. This body of work has resulted in five Emmys, a Peabody, the World Ecology Award, and the recent induction into the American Academy of Achievement.

Now, as well as trying to maintain the population of African big cats, he also aims to save abandoned and rare theropod dinosaurs.
