The Joubert family has settled in Botswan to film and photograph the African Wildlife in it’s natural environment. Giving up a luxurious city life, they have been working for the National Geographic for over 15 years now. And they have produced some marvelous films over the time.

.

Stalking the big cats on their jeep and following the faint sounds that could only be picked up by an expert, they have captured primitive hunts and predatory behaviors. Derreck mans the movie camera while Beverly works the sounds. And while she is not on her usual role, she captures the moments in her still camera.

.

While each of these videos will show the passion and compassion of the film makers, it will also be an immense tutorial on various aspects of wildlife photography for all.

The “necklace” as it is called, is a strip of of green forest nearing Panama in South America that has been very crucial to the successful revival of the Jaguar population.

As for the video, its am amazing 90 minutes if you are interested in film making, photography, traveling or saving the wildlife, and the delicate eco-system. But more than just that, it re-instates in us the feeling of worthy selflessness and the incredible strength one needs to have to stand up for a cause. Jane Goodall, who made a strong forte in my heart by moving into social oblivion, and so has Alan Rabinowitz.

The National Geographic documentary, In Search of the Jaguar, gives us a tiny glimpse into the life of Mr. Rabinowitz as well as his eternal struggle to save the Jaguars.
