USING TIMBER CERTIFICATION AS A TOOL FOR WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT: EXPERIENCES FROM WEST AND CENTRAL AFRICA

New Dates for Wildlife Sound Recording Courses with Chris Watson

We're pleased to announce dates of 3-5 Sep and 10-12 Dec for this year's Wildlife Sound courses.

Chris Palmer is the director of the Center for Environmental Filmmaking at American University in Washington. He is a longtime wildlife filmmaker and author of the forthcoming "Shooting in the Wild: An Insider's Account of Making Movies in the Animal Kingdom"

I've spent more than 25 years making wildlife films, many of them about powerful and dangerous predators such as killer whales. It is easy to see that in their own environments, little prevents such creatures from yielding to their natural impulses, as they should.

Here’s a great chance to add your personal touch to WWF's Earth Hour by making a short video trailer that will inspire everyone to switch off their lights on Saturday 27 March. And you could win yourself a heap of cash too!

Send us your Earth Hour video trailer by 8 March...

WWF’s Earth Hour is, of course, on Saturday 27 March, but we need you to send us your Earth Hour promo videos by midday on the closing date of 8 March. This will give us time to show the best ones on our website as they come in, then pick a winner, and use your video in our Earth Hour promotions. You can send it even sooner, if you like.

Since the Wildlife Film Academy has relocated to Entabeni Private Game Reserve, which covers 23,000 Ha of bush in the Waterberg Escarpment, students have been so impressed with the abundance of wildlife which makes their filmmaking that much easier! 

COP15 – nice videos, shame about the result

The long, dark days of the Copenhagen climate change summit already seem a distant memory. Those of us who were there never want to hear the words “Bella Centre” or “COP15” ever again. A fortnight of all-night edits, frantic deadlines and nail-biting live transmissions – all fuelled by adrenaline, coffee, pizza and beer.
