The Center for Environmental Filmmaking at American University was founded in 2005 on the conviction that films and new media are essential educational tools in the struggle to protect the environment and save wildlife. Our mission is to train students to produce films and new media that focus attention on the need to protect the environment and wildlife in a way that is effective as well as ethically sound, educationally powerful, and entertaining. We develop innovative and enriching classes and programs, advocate for the ethical treatment of the environment and wildlife worldwide, and bring world-class filmmakers to campus to teach and mentor students. We have over twenty new and ongoing programs, including:

• Classroom in the Wild, which enables students to make films in the field in extraordinarily beautiful places like Alaska, Florida, and the Chesapeake Bay
• A film for PBS inspired by Chris Palmer’s book Shooting in the Wild, which will be accompanied by a national community outreach initiative
• A scholarship program which gives five $1,000 scholarships annually to graduate students who demonstrate academic and creative excellence
• A partnership with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration to create the Ocean for Life program, in which Center students travel to marine protected areas in California and Florida to mentor students from the Middle East
• The annual Eco-Comedy Video Competition
• On-going partnerships with Maryland Public Television, the National Park Service, and other blue-chip organizations.

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.

We have implemented extensive training of NGOs in Indonesia with regard to shooting, editing and promoting campaign films. This has included a three-year DFID-funded training programme in Tanzania – Read about it and watch some of the films produced by local groups and individuals at www.eia-international.org/giving-a-voice-to-tanzanian-communities (Also see: www.eia-international.org/tanzania-training)

EIA 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 UK Wildlife Film School
Wildlife – Real Locations – Real Skills - Real Experience

We will equip you with a High-Definition television camera, production equipment and all the camp kit you need, and then take you ‘on location’ into some of Scotland’s most remote and beautiful locations filming ‘Real Wildlife’ living in their own natural environment.

Here we will teach you all the logistical, camp-craft and camera skills you require to become a ‘Professional Wildlife Camera Operator’ or a member of a ‘Professional Wildlife Production Crew’.

Leave the classroom behind you - you only gain real experience out on the hill.

We are now running 2, 5, 9 and 30 day wildlife film courses during 2012.
