About 'Wildlife SOS'

Wildlife SOS is a long-running documentary series presented by Simon Cowell MBE and featuring the work of the Wildlife Aid Foundation and its partner wildlife charities in Britain and around the world. Wildlife SOS was first broadcast in 1997 on Channel Five, and since then has run continuously on Discovery Channel’s Animal Planet. It has also been co-produced by ITV Meridian and ITV London.

What started as a modest fly-on-the-wall documentary about life at the Foundation’s Leatherhead veterinary hospital now covers a wide range of environmental and animal-welfare issues world-wide. It is one of the most popular shows on Animal Planet, with millions of viewers internationally.

With Wildlife SOS Series 10 currently in production and due to be screened in 2012, the focus now is on tackling the most challenging situations, ranging from the plight of endangered British wildlife species to the ongoing problems of animal cruelty and habitat destruction in Asia and Africa.

The new series sees Simon Cowell getting to grips with the challenges facing his fellow wildlife rehabbers in countries as far afield as Namibia, Thailand, and the Congo, as well as overseeing the Foundation’s day-to-day work with sick, injured and orphaned British wildlife.
