Hosted by Sonoma veterinarian Dr. Howard Rosner, who escorted the 17 lions and tigers on their epic journey in January from Guatemala to South Africa, and to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary, their forever home.

More action adventure than traditional documentary, Lion Ark takes you into the thick of the action, up close and personal with the animals and their rescuers. Illegal circuses are tracked down, the animals saved and brought to safety, and the story reaches a joyous finale as 25 lions are airlifted to freedom.

It was the first time anyone had ever attempted to close down an entire circus industry in a single rescue mission. The success of Operation Lion Ark in Bolivia saw bans on circus animals sweep Latin America and similar rescues by ADI in Peru, Colombia, and Guatemala. This was a pivotal operation and Lion Ark captured it as it unfolded – an incredible feel-good movie for anyone who cares about animals.
Join us and leave with a smile and feeling inspired and empowered that together we can change the world for animals.

Good morning
Wow..what a beautiful trailer. I am one of your founder members for the lovely sanctuary in Winburg Free State, South Africa.
Living in Shaka’s Rock South Africa I will unfortunately not be able to make it…will you be considering hosting something like this later in the year in our country?
This can be a good fundraiser event…
Best wishes And thank you SO very much for all the good work you do for this planet’s beautiful animals living in horrid conditions. You are appreciated
