- Located at an average elevation of 4,000 metres, the Deosai plateau in Gilgit-Baltistan is one of the highest plateaus in the world. Legend has it that several centuries ago a huge giant lived on this vast plateau; hence its name Deosai or 'Dev Vasai', (meaning 'land of the giant'). No longer the abode of a giant, the Deosai plateau is now best known for supporting the largest brown bear population in Pakistan. Despite the high altitude and extreme climate, there are many settlements on the north-eastern border of the Deosai National Park. Grazing of livestock is the traditional practice of these communities. The area is also visited by nomadic herdsmen, the Gujjar-Bakarwals, who bring their cattle to Deosai for grazing in summer. While the local communities remain restricted to certain areas, the Gujjars indiscriminately graze their livestock in almost all the areas of Deosai. Grazing not only degrades the vegetation cover leading to habitat loss and fragmentation, it also increases competition for natural resources for the local wildlife species of the Park. The Gujjars also remove bushes and plants that provide cover to the wildlife and protect the soil from degradation. These actions have a detrimental effect on the wildlife species of Deosai, particularly the brown bear. Once found in large numbers, the Himalayan brown bear is now a critically endangered species. In the late 1980s, a small group of researchers observed brown bears in the Deosai region. In 1993, an NGO, the Himalayan Wildlife Project established a research camp; it was the first time that the bears of Deosai became the subject of scientific inquiry and census. Investigations revealed that Deosai was home to just 19 bears, a much smaller number than claimed by Wildlife Department. From 1993 to 2004, the Himalayan Wildlife Project provided support to the Forest Department in research, these efforts bore fruit and the bear population increased from about 20 in 1993 to about 58 at the end of 2004. The fish population in the rivers also increased significantly in this period.

- White lions are rarer than the legendary snow leopard of the Himalayas and they occur naturally in only one place on earth - The Timbavati Reserve in South Africa. But very few white lions have been witnessed in the wild over the past decade. Today, most white lions are born in captivity. Their rarity and beauty has condemned them to a destiny where they have become curiosities and hunting trophies. Their future as a wild species is now questionable. But there are people trying to change this - the local Shangaan tribe has revered white lions for centuries and with the help of Linda Tucker, head of the Global White Lion Protection Trust, a carefully planned release project is underway which will see the first four white lions return to the wilds of Timbavati. Some scientists and conservationists question the merit of such a venture and fear its consequences. Mainstream conservationists maintain that white lions are of little scientific conservation value and that they struggle to survive in the wild because of their lack of camouflage. On the other hand, big cat specialists point out that the original Timbavati white lions came from hardy stock that had lived in the wild for many years. Caught in the middle of this controversy, a white lioness and her three cubs await their fate. They will be the first captive white lions to be released back into their endemic range. Their journey is filled with challenge, controversy and tragedy. Will they adapt and silence the critics, or will they fall victim to the perils of their wild homeland?
