Saving Eden From the Sixth Extinction

SAVING EDEN is a feature film that tells the story of man wreaking havoc on animals and their habitat, bringing many – including apex predators – to the brink of extinction. We see scientists and individuals who are now hard at work all over the world to help bring many species back from the precipice. At heart, this is a love story between man and beast – a story of how our sacred biological connection can save not only the animals, but save us, too.
