You are Noah!: Introduction by Hein Prinsloo Curson
You Are Noah! sees YOU taking an active interest, in a dramatic dream - to save wildlife the world over, especially animals on the IUCN red list of endangered species. Publicity for the most ambitious of projects began with the Introduction volume of this book series, and its tie-in to Noah's Ark TV Series 1. It was then, and still is now, the Introduction to the whole programme. The TV series, which ran on Sky TV (UK) in 2021, along with the release of music singles, is now going back into production to track on camera building the world's most iconic and technologically advanced conservation park ever conceived of. A publicity programme in planning is aimed at putting The Noah's Ark Conservation Park at the heart of eco-tourism, and its conference centre and research facilities high in conservation circles. The overriding aim being to protect wild animal species, sustainably, for decades to come. Located in large open expanses along the coast of Africa, its main attractions will be: seeing the biggest range of animals from across the world, protected by Jurassic Park strength security, with massive Eden-Project-like Geo Domes for species (with their natural vegetation) from other climates, and the largest sea life aquarium in the world. Noah's Ark's response to the biodiversity crisis our planet faces, is a beacon for many more to follow worldwide. Climate change is receiving more attention, as are recycling and prioritising renewable energy. And in line with that, especially at COP Conferences and around the world post-COVID, people are now reconnecting much more with nature. All of which is raising awareness to the overriding need for a united front on the crisis. The challenge for the project team, led by Richard Curson & Hein Prinsloo, is to inspire YOU, and all who want to save our planet, to collectively raise a tsunami wave of opinion. Opinion that changes policies worldwide to our precious biodiversity, and with that to peace and wellbeing for all humanity. It will all start simply with what YOU watch, read, say, buy and follow. Note: Project development, essentially building the park, is with Scapha Ltd (UK). While Entertainment and Concerts are with The Noah's Ark Foundation - a non-profit organisation set up to sustainably support this project, and others that aim to tackle threats to animal wildlife from industrial and agricultural development, pollution, also poaching.
Tie-In to Noah's Ark TV Series 1 on Sky TV (UK) authors interviewed on Good Morning Britain and Kay Burley(UK) TV and book series will both be ongoing from 2024.
As a small child Hein lived alongside some of the world's most notable wild animals - zebras, giraffes, elephants, cheetahs and more. The second youngest of four brothers he was taught to respect animals and in childhood played in the wild as if a young Tarzan, he recalls, understanding their survival from the earth and trees and developing his care for the natural world. His father worked for the South African Gold Mines and the family was not well off. They moved to another life in Pretoria when he was a 12-year-old. After finishing school Hein's first job was in Furniture Retail Operations, in which he grew to become a regional manager. However, his passion for nature also grew. He spent weekends trekking in the bush, camping under the stars and being as close to wildlife as possible. He also befriended game ranger Peta Janice Smith, from Cape Town. She was, Hein felt, a kind of Doctor Doolittle often nursing injured animals back to health. When he met Richard Curson the couple were united in their love of animals and a passion to preserve the natural world. A gay couple, they also married, an event witnessed on TV's hit celebrity show Top Billing. Soon the concept of Noah's Ark was born and the pair began to nurture their vision towards reality. From the outset, Peta was with their project. Today, she is Noah's Ark animal expert.
