Through their production company Wildlife Conservation Films, the husband and wife filmmaking team have spent almost three decades researching, exploring, filming and documenting wildlife in Africa. Consequently their efforts have resulted in 20 films, six books, scores of international awards and earned them an explorer's residency at National Geographic.
The World Ecology Award was presented to the Jouberts by the Whitney R. Harris World Ecology Centre at the University of Missouri-St Louis, USA. Speaking at a gala dinner held at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, executive director of the Centre Patrick Osborne praised the work of the Jouberts in raising awareness around environmental issues.
"Through their films and publications, the Jouberts show the natural beauty and harsh reality of African wildlife, educating people throughout the world on why it is so vital that these wild places be protected and conserved for future generations," he said.
