National Geographic Live: Cameraman Bob Poole

Nature Roars Back

A childhood in East Africa gave Emmy Award-winning cinematographer Bob Poole a fierce curiosity about the natural world as well as an adventurous spirit. Bob has documented the rebirth of a lost Eden: Mozambique’s Gorongosa National Park, a jewel of Africa’s parks system until civil war almost destroyed it. There, he joined forces with rangers and scientists on perhaps the biggest conservation project on the planet—and learned that the wild places we’ve broken can be put back together.
