On National Lion Day, PBS offered a first look of its new nature documentary, Gorongosa Park: Rebirth of Paradise. The series, by renowned nature documentarian Bob Poole, tells the story of an historic rejuvenation of an African wildlife oasis in Mozambique after Civil War nearly destroyed it.

“Our deep dive into the return of Gorongosa Park is important because of how crucial its conservation effort is to the ecosystem of Africa – and to the world,” said Bill Gardner, PBS’ VP, programming and development, in a statement. “It’s also an epic adventure and an inspiring story of how dedicated people, working together, can make a difference in rehabilitating ecosystems thought to be lost.”

Gorongosa Park: Rebirth of Paradise airs this fall on PBS on three consecutive Tuesdays from Sept. 22 through Oct. 6 at 8 p.m. ET. From Sept. 16-22, PBS will offer the entire series across all streaming platforms.
