The End Of Eden Introduction

Filmmaker Rick Lomba of South Africa was devastatingly killed in 1994 while on location in Angola filming the Luanda Zoo Rescue Operation.
The award-winning documentary filmmaker was attacked and killed by an escaped Bengal tiger.
In 1986 Lomba produced the extraordinary film, The End of Eden. He was funded primarily by First National Bank.
Aside from a three year stint on television the film has been inexplicably out of circulation and inaccessible to much of the world. The films portrayal of the degradation of Africas ecosystems is aesthetically poignant. It features accounts of human greed and the inability of humans to preserve the natural integrity of the habitats in which they dwell.
The introduction of cattle ranching and the beef industry in the South African landscape is featured prominently within the film as a primary source of devastation to the land.
Made twenty-two years ago, this universally important story is still undeniably relevant to those wishing to forge a balanced and healthy coexistence with both the bounty and perils of our wild surroundings.

End of Eden will appeal at once to environmental activists, filmmakers, and concerned citizens of the earth alike.

The ROSCAR award for the environmental conservation campaign is dedicated in the name of Rick Lomba. Lomba`s wife, Brita wishing for his work to go unforgotten, has donated his entire library of work to the African Environmental Film Foundation.
