Born in Kenya with lions, giraffes and warthogs in her back garden, and speaking Swahili as her first language, Saba became entranced with wildlife at an early age. Her childhood was spent bumping around in the back of an open truck between Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda while her parents studied elephant behaviour and then battled to save them from the illegal ivory trade." She met husband Frank Pope at a wedding in the UK and they eventually married and have three young daughters.

- DirectorMatej VranicStarsJure LongykaMichael ManskeThe documentary DIVJA SLOVENIJA / WILD SLOVENIA visually presents the very diverse fauna and flora of Slovenia, focusing on mammals and birds, and shows some particularly interesting species of amphibians, fish, insects and plants. In the film, we venture among the highest Alpine peaks and into the remote Dinaric forests; we travel across the Pannonian plains, descend into the underground caves of the Karst world and dive into the Adriatic Sea. The film offers the insight into the secret life of some animal species that live in close proximity to humans, often even in an urban environment, but never quite come to our sight. We witness individual interactions between humans and animals. Throughout the 83-minute film, stunning details from the animal world emerge, combined into compelling and unobtrusively instructive stories shown through interesting footage. More than 50 animal species are presented; monitored over a period of one year and presented in different roles, as dictated by their life cycle - hunting and eating, courting, fighting, mating, and caring for the offspring. With the more common species, that we see frequently, the film introduces some lesser-known features. The film, which takes place over a period of one year, also takes the viewer through typical Slovenian landscapes and briefly introduces their main characteristics. The plot crosses between the provinces and occasionally returns to the same area in order to show what is happening in the animal world in the second part of the year. A very rich ecosystem diversity, rarely seen recordings, and scientifically verified information weaved into the intelligible text are key attributes of this film.

Environmentalist and photographer, Sandesh Kadur, has traded a comfortable career in the family business to explore the natural wonders of the Western Ghats mountains. Just a few hours drive from the commercial bustle of his native Bangalore, Sandesh could be a world away. The monsoon pours six meters of rainfall each year on the remote peaks and isolated valleys of the Ghats. Alongside familiar Indian species like elephants, tigers and peacocks are more mysterious creatures that are found nowhere else: a purple frog with a face like a shrew and a monkey with a lion-like mane and tail. Most intriguing of all, a chance sighting of a gray big cat, unlike anything scientists have seen before. To find out whether this enigmatic cat-in-the-ghat really is a new species, Sandesh must climb to the summit of these mountains. His journey is a reminder that in fast-track, modern India, this cloud-wrapped wilderness is more precious than ever.

- DirectorMike BirkheadJoe LoncraineStarsFranz Robert WagnerSri Lanka's fauna, partially migrated from India, which has been accessible by land at geologically recent times, is extremely rich and varied. However since the British colonists decided to plant first coffee, then tea, much of the forests has been cleared, leaving ever smaller pristine patches, sometimes completely cut-off. Some animal populations are rare, even including unique subspecies.
- DirectorMike BirkheadJoe LoncraineStarsFranz Robert WagnerThe waters around Sri Lanka are naturally at least as rich as the land. Two different monsoons, northwest and southeast, mean about all year part of the island receives heavy rains, which carry organic and mineral material in streams springing from the mountains. So maritime wildlife is abundant, with lots of fish in shallow coastal waters with reefs and many ship wrecks, attracting intense fishery as well as natural predators, from predatory fish and aquatic birds to dolphins and a unique population of whales.
