The Brock Initiative

"making films that WILL make a difference"

"Showing the truth on some minority channel is not the answer. Showing it where it counts, is."

The Brock Initiative has successfully completed numerous projects in different countries. Aside from making a real difference in these areas the Brock Initiative hopes to encourage and assist others, both film-makers and those who can use film in their work, to do the same.

CBCF produce environmental films/documentaries, offer a minimum of two weeks film production training, community film showing, film distribution. We sell stock footage and stills. We are looking for conservation-themed films. We are working towards being conservation filmmaking agents in East Africa. We are also looking for collaborators and sponsors. We are happy to co-produce.

CBCFs Goals:

• To train indigenous young conservationists in Kenya, Tanzania and the rest of East Africa to make biodiversity conservation films for the sake of effective environmental education.
• To make these films in partnership with local communities about issues linked to their local livelihoods.
• To distribute these films among education organisations (NGO and government) within East Africa and beyond.
• To evaluate the effectiveness of digital films as a means of education and capacity-building in schools, communities and countries where we exist.

The Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) is an independent campaigning organisation committed to bringing about change that protects the natural world from environmental crime and abuse.

EIA produces hard-hitting campaign films on a wide range of environmental crimes, as well as bespoke training films for enforcement agencies.

It also has one of the world's largest archives of footage devoted to the illegal trade in wildlife products and other environmentally damaging commodities. The collection is data-based and is available on a professional basis to journalists, publishers and programme-makers. All the funds raised from the sale of this archive help to fund future campaigns. The visual media you see on the website is indicative of what is available in the whole collection.

We are always prepared to listen to programme pitches from media professionals with a view to highlighting our work.

Our vision is a future where humanity respects, protects and celebrates the natural world for the benefit of all.

The Great Apes Film Initiative uses the power of film and media to engage all those who can make a difference to endangered great apes. This involves getting films to Presidents, Ministers in government, national television audiences and many local communities, schools, universities, wildlife management centres, ...even Karaoke bars  across Africa and SE Asia.

Since its inception six years ago GAFI has screened films to approximately 300 million people in 14 great ape range states and carries out monitoring programmes to check how effective its screening projects are being. GAFI gets its screenings out via 4x4 vehicles and river boats which hasnt been very cost effective or environmentally friendly - however we are now embarking upon the worlds first conservation pedal powered cinema systems screenings where we use a bicycle to travel from one village to another and screen the films usisng pure person power on the bike.

Marine Conservation Society (MCS), the UK charity that cares for our seas, shores and wildlife MCS is the voice for everyone who loves the sea. We work to secure a future for our living seas, and to save our threatened sea life before it is lost forever. Our wonderful seas, shores and wildlife are under threat. Almost nowhere in UK seas is marine wildlife safe from harm. We need to establish vital marine protected areas where wildlife can recover and flourish. Levels of beach litter have doubled over the last decade.  MCS works to clear our seas of the rising tide of rubbish that is so dangerous to sea life, including seabirds, whales and dolphins. 88% of Europe’s fish stocks are overfished or depleted. Once common fish such as skate and cod are now rare. MCS works to reduce the overfishing which is devastating the life in our seas, and promotes sustainable seafood alternatives. Our work ensures that the sea’s rich wildlife can be restored, fish stocks grow more plentiful, and our beaches and seawater become cleaner.

The protection and conservation of our Oceans will always be a driving force in everything Scubazoo do and wherever possible Scubazoo will aim to tell ‘the whole story’ of the marine world. Please take a look at a selection of our Marine Conservation Videos here.

Imagine if everybody in the UK made just a few small changes in their garden to help our British wildlife.

Think of the giant patchwork of habitats that could be created, all the new homes that could be formed, and all the mouths that could be fed. And you can do as much or as little as you like!

Here at The Wildlife Garden Project, we are transforming an ordinary garden into a haven for wildlife. We will show you exactly how we did it through our film, which we are shooting over the course of the transformation, and our website at www.wildlifegardenproject.com. Have a browse around: you'll find how to videos, tips for your wildlife garden, sneaky peeks of the film, and a forum where you can connect with other nature lovers.

So, no excuses, get those spades out and enjoy all those creatures that will make your new wildlife garden their new home!

In addition to the Annual General Meeting and Society's Spring Meeting, workshops are held twice a year and other local meetings are held throughout the country from time to time. The Society publishes a journal, Wildlife Sound, twice a year - and a Sound Magazine in CD format of member's work, four times a year.
