Jane Goodall, Iconic Chimpanzee Expert Who Was Subject of Dozens of Films, Dies at 91
Jane Goodall, the world’s foremost expert on chimpanzees whose work was captured in more than 40 documentaries, died Wednesday in California. She was 91.
The Jane Goodall institute issued a statement, saying, “The Jane Goodall Institute has learned this morning, Wednesday, October 1, 2025, that Dr. Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute has passed away due to natural causes. She was in California as part of her speaking tour in the United States.¨
Her work was covered in detail in the 2017 documentary “Jane,” assembled from 140 hours of footage that had been hidden in National Geographic’s archives. It won two Primetime Emmys and several other awards.
She was the subject of more than 40 documentaries from National Geographic, Animal Planet, Disneynature and more. Most recently, the 2023 Imax film “Jane Goodall: Reasons for Hope” explored her habitat restoration projects.
Goodall was a protegé of the noted anthropologize Louis S.B Leakey. Her 1960 discovery that chimpanzees were able to make and use tools revolutionized the field of primatology.
Born in Hampstead, London, she traveled to Kenya in 1957 and soon began working with Leakey. She became known for naming the chimps she worked with, rather than giving them numbers, and became the only human accepted into chimpanzee society.
She founded the Jane Goodall Institute in 1977 to support research on great apes, and also established Roots and Shoots, a youth program, and TACARE, which focused on sustainable development in African villages.
We are saddened to announce the death of Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, who passed away at the age of 91 this morning.
Jane Goodall, a UN Messenger of Peace and founder of the @janegoodallinst, became a household name through the breathtaking wildlife documentaries that captured her groundbreaking work with chimpanzees in Tanzania. Her intimate filmed portraits of the Gombe chimps, particularly the footage shot by her former husband Hugo van Lawick, revealed their complex social behaviours and helped generations feel an intrinsic connection to the natural world.
She was very well known and much loved within our community, and will be missed immensely by us all. RIP Jane.
In an Exclusive Interview, Dr. Jane Goodall Leaves Behind Her Last Words
“In the place where I am now, I look back over my life. What message do I want to leave?”
There are few people in the world whose mission of compassion, conservation, and care are so universally appreciated that the legacy eclipses the human being. Dr. Jane Goodall, DBE, was one such person, whose work with chimpanzees fundamentally changed the way that people see, think about, and engage with primates — including human primates. Dr. Goodall — founder of the Jane Goodall Institute (JGI) and UN Messenger of Peace, and a world-renowned ethologist and conservationist — died on Wednesday at the age of 91.
Earlier this year in March, she filmed an interview with Netflix that she understood would only be released after her death. Interviewed by Emmy Award-winner Brad Falchuk under strict confidentiality, the conversation was for Famous Last Words, a new Netflix documentary long-form series based on the notable Danish TV format of the same name featuring some of the world’s cultural icons. The interview was held on an empty stage, and captured by remotely operated cameras. The footage was securely held until she died, unedited, so that nobody outside the pair would know the contents until now.
Loosened with a pour of whiskey, which she told Falchuk was good for her voice, Goodall looked back on the span of her life and work with her signature blend of calm and obstinance. The stories she shared with Falchuk — and now us — range from her early observations of the fictional character Tarzan’s wife (“his Jane was a real wimp”) to her thoughts on free will, how to win arguments, ex-husbands, and the pull she felt toward spirituality toward the end of her life. She also revealed some private thoughts she’s never disclosed, even to her own family, and listed out her regrets, as well as who among the “cloud contingent” she hoped would greet her on the other side.
What were Jane Goodall’s last words?
After finishing their whiskey with a moving toast, Falchuk left the stage so that Goodall could speak directly to the camera to deliver her final, unedited public thoughts. Here it is in full:
“In the place where I am now, I look back over my life. I look back at the world I’ve left behind. What message do I want to leave? I want to make sure that you all understand that each and every one of you has a role to play. You may not know it, you may not find it, but your life matters, and you are here for a reason. And I just hope that reason will become apparent as you live through your life. I want you to know that, whether or not you find that role that you’re supposed to play, your life does matter, and that every single day you live, you make a difference in the world. And you get to choose the difference that you make.
“I want you to understand that we are part of the natural world. And even today, when the planet is dark, there still is hope. Don’t lose hope. If you lose hope, you become apathetic and do nothing. And if you want to save what is still beautiful in this world — if you want to save the planet for the future generations, your grandchildren, their grandchildren — then think about the actions you take each day. Because, multiplied a million, a billion times, even small actions will make for great change. I want to — I just hope that you understand that this life on Planet Earth isn’t the end. I believe, and now I know that there is life beyond death. That consciousness survives.
“I can’t tell you, from where I am, secrets that are not mine to share. I can’t tell you what you will find when you leave Planet Earth. But I want you to know that your life on Planet Earth will make some difference in the kind of life you find after you die. Above all, I want you to think about the fact that we are part — when we’re on Planet Earth — we are part of Mother Nature. We depend on Mother Nature for clean air, for water, for food, for clothing, for everything. And as we destroy one ecosystem after another, as we create worse climate change, worse loss of diversity, we have to do everything in our power to make the world a better place for the children alive today, and for those that will follow. You have it in your power to make a difference. Don’t give up. There is a future for you. Do your best while you’re still on this beautiful Planet Earth that I look down upon from where I am now. God bless you all.”
Dr. Jane Goodall’s final message to the world: “I want to make sure that you all understand that each and every one of you has a role to play. You may not know it, you may not find it, but your life matters and you are here for a reason.”

Manchán Magan, Irish writer and documentarian, dies age 55
Manchán Magan: "I often think of Ireland not as a country, but as a kind of spell"
We´re very sad to learn of the passing of the brilliant writer, broadcaster, and documentary maker Manchán Magan, who died yesterday, October 2 2025, at the age of 55.
A passionate and tireless advocate for the Irish language, culture, and natural landscape, Magan leaves behind a remarkable legacy of work that illuminated the deep connections between Ireland's heritage and the natural world.
Through his numerous books, TV series, and radio programmes, Magan helped audiences reconnect with the folklore and inherent wisdom of the Irish landscape.
A gifted storyteller, he made dozens of documentaries for TG4, RTÉ, and the Travel Channel, exploring issues of world culture and ecology.
His wildlife and nature filmmaking was a cornerstone of his work, reflecting his deep love and understanding of Ireland's environment. Notable documentary series included ¨Crainn na hÉireann¨, a 10-part series on the trees of Ireland, and ¨An Fód Deireannach¨, which focused on Irish bogs and peatland.
His recent two-part documentary, ¨Listen to the Land Speak¨, explored how ancient myths and stories of the land could help people rebuild their relationship with nature.
In his books, including ¨Thirty-Two Words for Field¨ and ¨Listen to the Land Speak¨, Magan explored how the Irish language held a profound, ecological knowledge of the country's flora and fauna.
A long-time resident of a grass-roofed house in an oak wood in County Westmeath, Magan lived close to the nature that was his constant inspiration.
Magan's gentle spirit and profound insights into Ireland's heritage, folklore, and environment have inspired countless people and will be deeply missed.
He is survived by his wife Aisling, his mother Cróine, and his three siblings.
Indie film Trade Secret, directed by Abraham Joffe, was awarded the Golden Panda Award 2025 at this year’s Wildscreen Panda Awards 2025.
The awards – for international wildlife film and TV productions Headline – have 17 categories, plus three special awards including the Golden Panda for best overall production. They are headline sponsored by Warner Chappell Production Music.
Trade Secret, executive produced by Adam McKay, reveals how conservation, politics and commercial interests collide in ways the public was never meant to see. The film exposes the sanctioned sale of hundreds of polar bears each year on the global market and uncovers a disturbing truth: those entrusted with safeguarding the species may be entangled in their continued international commercial trade.
Trade Secret also won in the Independent Film category.
Recognised by the jury for its “fearless and compelling investigative storytelling,” the filmmakers took significant financial, creative, and physical risks over six years and nine countries, to produce “a powerful film that reveals the lines between protection and exploitation have become blurred.”
Two National Geographic series that dominated this year’s winners, walking away with three category wins a piece, were Underdogs and A Real Bug’s Life, Series 2, both recognised by the Jury for reshaping the boundaries of the natural history genre and its audiences.
Underdogs, a co-production from Wildstar Films and Ryan Reynolds’ Maximum Effort, picked up category wins for Editing, Producer/Director and Scripted Narrative. The jury noted that the humorous series which celebrates nature’s unsung and unconventional heroes reshapes the boundaries of the natural history genre and its audiences.
A Real Bug’s Life, Series 2 from Plimsoll Productions, an adventure into different micro bug worlds around the globe, scooped up best Cinematography, Children’s and Series. Awkwafina’s witty and playful narration combined with stunning macro-photography transforms a seemingly unremarkable biome into a stunning cinematic world that immerses viewers across generations.
Silverback Films picked up two category wins – Behaviour for Sea Lions of the Galapagos and the much-coveted Impact Award for Ocean with David Attenborough which was co-produced with Open Planet Studios – the 99-year-old broadcasters’ untold story of the ocean and greatest message of hope.
Other winners include: Ryan Wilkes for The Bird in my Backyard (Emerging Talent Award), Tides of Life (Short Award), The Birds (In-Country Production Award), Rock Pool (Sound Award), Superskilled with Eva Zu Beck (On-Screen Talent Award) Pangolin Journey to Freedom (Sustainability Award), Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey (Music Award), and The Americas (Production Management Team).
Martha Holmes, from Plimsoll Productions, received the Christopher Parsons Outstanding Achievement Panda Award in recognition of her exceptional leadership and innovation within the natural history genre.
This, the competition’s 43rd Edition marked its move to an annual awards event. The ceremony was the finale of the inaugural Wildscreen Industry Summit, which convened the global wildlife film, TV and content community in Bristol and online from the 20-22 Oct.
Lina Tebbs, Director of UK Production Music said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Wildscreen for another year. Warner Chappell Production Music champions great storytelling, and we absolutely understand the value in educating and entertaining audiences through nature programming. The Panda Awards celebrate the dedication and hardwork of all the people behind-the-scenes and we’re honoured to be headline sponsor for the second-year running.”
Winner of the Golden Panda Award 2025 and Best Independent Film at Wildscreen – selected from a record 682 entries across 46 countries – Trade Secret has quickly become one of the most talked-about documentaries of the year. Now an official BAFTA and Oscar contender, the feature – directed by Australian filmmaker Abraham Joffe ACS and executive produced by Academy award-winner Adam McKay – was filmed over six years across nine countries.
The film, privately funded by UK investors, is an exposé that uncovers the sanctioned international trade in polar bear skins and reveals how conservation, politics, and profit have become dangerously entangled. Director Abraham Joffe tells the story of how they made this unflinching look at what happens when institutions entrusted with protecting wildlife are drawn into its exploitation.
The origins of Trade Secret go back to 2012, on my very first trip to the High Arctic to see polar bears. Like anyone who’s ever seen them in the wild, I can attest that it’s an unforgettable experience. Nothing can prepare you for the sight of a bear walking along the frozen sea a hundred and fifty miles from shore. They’re true apex predators – remarkable survivors at the top of the food chain.
But it was on that same trip that I learned something that completely shocked me: that if you had enough money, you could trophy-hunt a polar bear or buy a skin and ship it internationally. The very existence of an international fur trade – I couldn’t believe it. As someone who’s worked in wildlife filmmaking for over twenty years, I was stunned that I didn’t know about this. Immediately I knew there was a story to be told. This is the icon of the climate crisis – arguably the symbol of biodiversity loss in general – and yet here we are, in the twenty-first century, still trading and trophy-hunting this highly threatened species.
It wasn’t until about five years later, in 2017, that Dom West ACS and I met Norwegian photographer and conservationist Ole Liodden, who became a key figure in the film. We learned of his quest to uncover the true statistics and hidden facts around the international commercial trade in polar bears. That meeting marked the beginning of our journey to start documenting this unfolding story. Little did we know it would take several more years to complete the film and finally share it with audiences – but here we are.
We were fortunate enough to secure a private investment to finance the film, which gave us complete freedom to tell the story as it unfolded. Total creative control – without an agenda – was always the dream scenario. I honestly don’t think this film could exist today if we had not taken the path we took.
We started this film not knowing exactly where the story would take us. The revelations – of which there are many – were completely unknown to us from the outset. We truly did follow the story as our key characters navigated their own paths. The access we gained to closed-door summits, conferences, and sales rooms – both legal and illegal – across multiple countries and jurisdictions was an unthinkable journey when we began. But with the freedom of time and resources to follow the story, we were able to do it justice.
There are so many things about what we discovered that shocked us. Without giving anything away, I’ll just say that Trade Secret doesn’t expose your typical bad actors. It reveals trusted countries and entities that not only facilitate the commercial skin trade but actively lobby for its continuation.
Like any documentary filmmaker, if you spend enough time on a subject, you naturally become something of an expert. Having spent several years meticulously studying the details of the international commercial skin trade in polar bears – and its history across five Arctic nations – I feel well placed, along with my fellow producers, to bring this story to the world.
What guided us throughout was a deep sense of responsibility to be meticulous in our due diligence, fairness, and journalistic integrity. There are many uncomfortable and shocking revelations within the film, and it was vital that we got the facts right. We didn’t need to sensationalise anything – it’s shocking enough as it is. In fact, if anything, it was an exercise in restraint.
We live in a time with no shortage of bad news, but that’s not a reason to turn away from reality – especially one that so few people are aware of. As so many species face extinction, we are truly living through a human-induced sixth mass extinction. The fact that we are still exploiting vulnerable species through international trade is something the world needs to know about. These practices must be brought out from the shadows and challenged – and I think the figures in our film do that very powerfully.
Pangolin — Journey to Freedom wins a prestigious Panda Award at Wildscreen
The Wildscreen Festival‘s Panda Awards are known as the “Green Oscars” of the international wildlife film and TV industry.
They celebrate the very best in natural history storytelling.
¨I’m honored to share a Panda for 2025 with the team that created Pangolin — Journey to Freedom.
The special is a partnership between Silver Bullet Films (Cape Town), Terra Mater Studios (Vienna) and PBS Nature. I’m thrilled to have served as an executive producer.
The most deserving winner of the award is Kosha, the orphaned pangolin pup. Her hero journey from rescue to freedom reveals groundbreaking conservation science that inspires a safe future for Earth’s most trafficked mammal species.¨ – Peter Hamilton
This organization is an entity, a living organism developed from our collective consciousness, imagined by our need for community, to know ourselves, to know the earth, to protect her.
Since our public launch in 2014 this world has changed dramatically, for many it has become a place of fear, of us and them, of uncertainty. The change is constant, fuelled by media, and fear is our primal survival response inherited from our preyed upon ancestors. But what else is in our primordial DNA, our toolkit for survival ? What else holds us together and makes us stronger ? Where does purpose, compassion, empathy and belief take us ? How do we hold on to the diverse human experience, love the journey, learn from the hardships and support each other. This organization has allowed me to explore this, us to explore collectivity.
Beyond the impact metrics and the organisation structure, the strategies and financial planning, this is about being human. Connecting as people. These are the lessons of my late mother – love unconditionally, support dreams and have deep empathy.
I brought questions, learnt boundaries and made mistakes but through this there is growth, deep learning. In this last decade, amongst the seeming chaos, this organisation has grounded me, reminded me, motivated me, to return to nature and indigenous wisdom, to the knowledge in us, in our generational DNA, as our peoples have, always.
Stop. notice a bird passing, a glance, a fox in the morning light, bring meaning, learn ways. Live. Heal.
I am sorry, forgive me, thank you, I love you, repeat.

International Wildlife Film Festival - Open for Entries
The mission of the International Wildlife Film Festival is to promote awareness, knowledge, and understanding of wildlife, habitat, people, and nature through excellence in film. The long-standing festival champions wildlife filmmakers and challenges conventional expectations about how we conserve wildlife and habitat.
Festival Dates: April 18-23, 2026
Virtual IWFF program offered April 26-May 1, 2026
We are pleased to announce the theme of United Nations World Wildlife Day 2026 will be "Medicinal and Aromatic Plants: Conserving Health, Heritage and Livelihoods!"
Medicinal and aromatic plants (MAPs) are essential for both human health and well-being and ecological balance. These plants form the foundation of many traditional healthcare systems, contribute to modern medicine and support diverse industries ranging from cosmetics and food to agriculture and luxury goods. Across the globe, approximately 50,000-70,000 MAP species are harvested for their healing properties, cultural significance and economic value. Of these, almost 1,300 are estimated to be listed in the Appendices of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), including over 800 in Appendix II.
Organized by the CITES Secretariat in collaboration with partners such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), International Fund for Animal Welfare (ifaw), Jackson Wild and others, the WWD2026 activities will aim to:
Celebrate conservation efforts – Highlight sustainable management initiatives through creative expressions such as youth artwork, photography and film.
Strengthen knowledge and awareness – Share insights on MAPs, highlight their vital role in our daily lives as well as their conservation challenges and the CITES provisions governing international trade.
Encourage research, innovation and partnerships – Foster collaboration among stakeholders to promote sustainable use of MAPs and share lessons learned from successful conservation models.
Leading up to the high-level United Nations event for WWD2026 on Tuesday, 3 March 2026, online activities will include the annual Jackson Wild Film Showcase and ifaw Youth Art Contest. More details will be announced soon.
Updates and information about the celebrations will be ongoing and communicated via the World Wildlife Day website (to be updated) and social media channels: wildlifeday.org/en
Pablo Behrens is a London-based film director and producer.
His latest film ¨London´s Last Wilderness¨ is about the ecology of a fantastic region close to London.
London’s Last Wilderness is the visual experience of an explorer landing on an undiscovered planet.
Every shot in the film was captured using truthful documentary techniques—no retakes, no setups. What you see happened once, and only once.
Like the first Europeans in the Amazon or astronauts orbiting the moon, there was no time for rehearsals or scripted reflections. The camera moved with the explorer—fast, focused, in the moment.
A mere 30 miles crow's flight from Piccadilly Circus lies a place London largely ignores: the Greater Thames Estuary. It's an ecological and cosmological force hiding in plain sight.
One of its secrets is scale. The estuary rivals London in size. To truly cover it, you need years — exploring north and south banks. From land, sea and sky.
Beyond the coast lies a maze of creeks and shifting islands, shaped by rivers and tides that change everything, twice a day. Half the terrain vanishes and reappears with the North Sea. No two days are the same. No tide repeats.
To be honest with this place, you have to film it all. Across four seasons, in all weather, under every tidal condition. Nothing could be skipped. Nothing faked.
The film has no presenters. This is not exactly a human story.

BBC America sets January debut for David Attenborough-narrated “Kingdom”
The BBC has unveiled when its upcoming landmark natural history series, Kingdom, is coming to UK and U.S. audiences.
BBC America has announced a January 24 premiere date for the landmark natural history series, Kingdom, with the series also streaming on AMC+. Meanwhile, in the UK, BBC One and iPlayer are set to air the series in early November.
The six-part series is narrated by legendary naturalist and three-time Emmy winner Sir David Attenborough (Asia, Planet Earth III) and was filmed across five years in a single location, making it one of the most ambitious projects yet undertaken by BBC Studios Natural History Unit.
The 6 x 50-minute series chronicles the dramatic real-life stories of four African animal families — leopards, hyenas, wild dogs and lions — that are connected as they strive for a foothold in a remote and fertile river valley in Zambia, following the power struggles between top predators and showcasing a colorful supporting cast including elephant herds, flocks of hamerkops and troops of marauding baboons.
The King to front environmental doc for Prime Video
Passion Planet ties with The King’s Foundation for feature based on book by Charles III .
Passion Planet is to tie with The King’s Foundation for a Prime Video feature documentary in which King Charles III shares his views on the environment.
Finding Harmony: A King’s Vision (w/t) will be based on the 2010 book Harmony: A New Way of Looking at Our World, written by the King. The book reveals his ‘philosophy of Harmony’ – centring around the idea that people should work with, rather than against, nature.
The doc will reveal a living demonstration of the philosophy at The King’s Foundation’s Dumfries House estate in Ayrshire, aiming to inspire people to take practical action to restore the natural world. It will also feature The King’s own reflections as he views archive footage from across the decades.
Championed by Amazon MGM Studios head of documentary features Brianna Oh, the doc will launch in over 240 countries and territories worldwide in early 2026.
The exec producers are Tom Hugh-Jones, Nick Southgate and Andrew Ruhemann and the producers are Alice Henley (lead producer), Gaby Bastyra and David Allen. The director is Nicolas Brown (The Serengeti Rules).
King Charles III said: “Never has it been more important for the world to make a concerted effort to protect and prioritise our planet, and to restore our relationship with it. It is therefore my fondest hope that this film may encourage a new audience to learn about the philosophy of Harmony - and perhaps inspire the same sense of determination it has given me to help build a more sustainable future.”

BBC Studios, Globo set first copro deal for docuseries exploring the Amazon
Brazilian media giant Globo and BBC Studios have struck their first coproduction agreement, for an upcoming documentary series that will take audiences to the heart of the Amazon, one of the world’s most vital and contested regions.
The untitled series will combine BBC Studios’ expertise in documentary filmmaking with Globo’s journalistic experience in telling stories from Brazil.
The series will be produced by BBC Studios Specialist Factual Productions, with production to commence on the project at a date still to be announced. BBC Studios, which brought the parties together for the agreement, will sell the series globally.
“This documentary marks a milestone for factual production in Brazil. We are bringing together our deep knowledge of the country with BBC Studios’ excellence in creating extraordinary documentaries that resonate globally,” said Globo TV director of content Gabriel Jacome in a release announcing the partnership. “This coproduction is more than a series: it is a testament to the strength of Indigenous communities, the urgency of protecting the Amazon and the power of audiovisual storytelling as a tool for transformation.”
“This new documentary series represents a truly collaborative project designed to spark meaningful conversation, while giving us a valuable opportunity to deliver homegrown storytelling for our Latin American audiences and spotlight the Amazon’s rich Indigenous heritage on a global stage,” added Janet Brown, president of global content sales at BBC Studios.
VMI opened the Bristol division in 2015 and moved into its current building in St George a year later. Run by Gary Davis and Jon Noad, VMI Bristol was set up specifically to cater for natural history programmes and documentaries, stocking specialist cameras and larger lenses/grip and acting as a full satellite branch of VMI.
However, changing marketing conditions post-Covid, saw a sharp contraction of Bristol-based productions, to the point where VMI has made the difficult decision to close this branch in September 2025, resulting in all operations now being centralised at our London office, where we will continue to service our national clients.
Over the last 10 years, VMI Bristol has serviced cameras and lenses for some extraordinary productions and here are a few highlights:
A Real Bug’s Life featured on Disney+ was produced by Plimsoll Productions for National Geographic and the combination of the Phantom VEO 4K camera and Infiniprobe TS 160 lens allowed the team to get up, close and personal with the featured critters, whilst also attaining an impressive slow motion – with each individual wingflap visible on screen.
Earth at Night in Colour, produced by Offspring Productions for Apple TV used the incredible 4m ASA Canon ME20F-SH camera to achieve super low-light scenes, shining light on a world we wouldn’t otherwise be able to see, with minimal disturbance on animal subjects
Nledi – One Little Elephant, was produced by Off the Fence Productions, which also used the Canon ME20F-SH camera in a bold plan to shoot a family of elephants 24 hours a day in the in Okavango Delta and included a dramatic sequence capturing the birth of an elephant in the wild, in colour with more depth than had ever been seen before.
Finally, The Battle to Beat Malaria, an incredible piece directed by Cat Gale and from the work of multiple production companies such as Wingspan Productions and HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, for the BBC. Cinematographer Robert Hollingworth took advantage of the Phantom VEO 4K, RED V-Raptor, and InfiniProbe TS-160 to present the inside story of a historic new vaccine and the efforts against the world’s deadliest disease
Despite the closure of our Bristol branch, VMI’s doors will remain firmly open to similar productions, as we can provide various national delivery options, as well as van deliveries. Importantly, VMI will maintain its impressive stocks of Phantom VEO 4Ks, Freefly Ember super slow motion cameras, super-low light cameras, our wide RED camera fleet, motion-control rigs and other specialist equipment, though producers will need to consider that these will now be supplied from our London hub, rather than directly from Bristol.
Have you ever wondered what scopes 1,2 and 3 are and how they relate to your production emissions?
BAFTA albert and the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance (S.E.A) are lifting the curtain with the release of a new Scopes 1 and 2 whitepaper to guide you through how emissions can be tracked during production and ensure that they align with the global Green House Gas Protocol.
This new guidance is also supported by a paper released in 2024 which outlines the emissions associated with Scope 3.
With input from broadcasters and streamers across the UK and USA you can be reassured that the guidance will help your production meet the reporting requirements set out by commissioning bodies and studios.
The guidance will also help you if you need to create an accurate emissions footprint for your production and it will help with the data requirements of the tracking tools like the BAFTA albert Carbon Calculator or PEACH and PEAR in the USA.
The Emerging Filmmakers Professional Development Program is the latest chapter of If Not Us Then Who’s work with Indigenous and local community filmmakers.
This project builds on introductory-level film training programs carried out in Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Peru, Indonesia, and Brazil, with a range of regional partners, which we have now developed to provide onward capacity-building for trainees as they expand their production and establish themselves in the filmmaking industry.
The program has the participation of around 40 filmmakers from Indigenous and local communities in the Global South with masterclass sessions around storytelling, production and distribution; one-on-one mentorships around their audiovisual projects; direct funds for their productions; and ongoing impact support for campaigns about their films.
This program is supported by the Climate and Land Use Alliance CLUA, the Perspective Fund and the Tenure Facility.
A new collection from the Emerging Filmmakers Program is now live. Created by Indigenous mentees from Ecuador, Brazil, Indonesia, and beyond, these short films share powerful stories of ancestral knowledge, biodiversity, and land defense. Each film reflects the growth of emerging voices and the legacy of storytelling from the ground up.
If Not Us Then Who? works with Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and local community creatives—filmmakers and photographers—supporting their journey to becoming professional storytellers. Since 2013, we’ve amplified voices from across the tropical forest regions through curated peer-to-peer learning spaces, mentorship, training, and global distribution opportunities.
Our Training Programs foster authentic, participatory storytelling, rooted in land rights, local sovereignty, and ancestral knowledge. Participants collaborate with Indigenous and non-Indigenous mentors, engage in peer learning, and develop impactful creative projects.
In 2024, we expanded our reach across Asia, Latin America, and Africa, working with emerging filmmakers in India, Kenya, Uganda, Belize, Mexico, Chile, Indonesia, and the DRC—continuing our commitment to storytelling that shifts narratives and drives change.
Under a new partnership between Off the Fence Media and Welsh production company Afanti Media, OTF is launching documentary special Dark Waters (1 x 60 mins/1 x 90 mins) at MIPCOM.
The in-production documentary for S4C and BBC Wales will deliver in January 2026, just ahead of the 30-year anniversary of the Sea Empress oil disaster in 1996, which disgorged 72,000 tonnes of crude oil off the coast of Wales.
Using CGI from,the team behind Drain the Oceans, testimony and rare archive footage, Dark Waters looks to unravel the truth behind one of the world’s most devastating oil spills.
Separately, Enderley Pictures has awarded OTF the rights to its upcoming docuseries Staged: Deadly Deceptions (10 x 60 mins), which has been pre-sold to Crime & Investigation, part of Hearst Networks EMEA.
The new series, to be delivered in 2026, examines cases that look like straightforward accidents, suicides or random acts of violence — until investigators start pulling at the seams and the carefully constructed cover stories unravel. The series features cinematic reconstructions, archive footage and first-hard accounts..
Plimsoll’s Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters heads to Australia
The reality show Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters is heading to Australia, with the Nine Network commissioning a local version of the format.
ITV Studios Australia will produce the new adaptation, which is scheduled to air in 2026. This international sale follows the UK version's successful debut and its focus on combining entertainment with a strong environmental message about sharks and marine conservation.
The show features celebrities who swim with sharks while learning about their role in marine ecosystems and addressing common misconceptions about them.
“This partnership not only strengthens our natural history offering but also opens new opportunities for coproductions, digital content innovation and global audience engagement,” said Bomanbridge founder and CEO Sonia Fleck in a statement.
HBO lines up Raw docuseries about Free Willy’s orca star Keiko after movie fame
Warner Bros Discovery-owned HBO has ordered a multi-part docuseries about killer whale Keiko, who appeared in the 1993 feature film Free Willy.
Produced by HBO Documentary Films and All3Media-backed UK prodco Raw, the project will premiere on HBO in the US and will also be available on streamer HBO Max.
The as-yet-untitled doc will follow Keiko, a captive male orca, as he is “propelled into an extraordinary yet controversial journey that spanned across Mexico, the US, Iceland and Norway” in the years after appearing in Free Willy.
The project will combine exclusive access to never-before-seen archives and interviews with those who worked with Keiko, to tell of the major international efforts to return him to his home waters in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age — Season 3 Official Trailer | Apple TV
New creatures. New era. Experience the Ice Age like never before. Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age is now streaming on Apple TV
“Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age” is a sweeping new installment of the award-winning natural history series from executive producers Jon Favreau and Mike Gunton, produced by BBC Studios Natural History Unit (“Planet Earth”), and narrated by Golden Globe Award and Olivier Award winner Tom Hiddleston (“Earthsounds”), with an original score by Hans Zimmer, Anže Rozman and Kara Talve from Bleeding Fingers Music. The five-part docuseries, set to premiere globally on November 26, 2025, invites viewers into a dramatic new era of prehistoric life, millions of years after the extinction of the dinosaurs — an era shaped by ice, the intense fight to survive and the rise of a new cast of giants: the iconic megafauna.
“Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age” uses the latest scientific research and cutting-edge visual effects to bring this frozen world to life like never before, unveiling the spectacular habitats and inhabitants of ancient Earth for a one-of-a-kind experience. From towering woolly mammoths to elusive snow sloths, terrifying saber-toothed tigers to resilient dwarf elephants (only 3 feet tall), the series reveals the epic struggles and unexpected stories of animals that once ruled the Ice Age. Viewers will journey through vast tundras, barren deserts, expanding grasslands and melting permafrost as these creatures battle for survival in the face of extreme climates, shifting landscapes and the onset of “The Big Freeze,” and ultimately, “The Big Melt.”
The series is produced by the world-renowned team at BBC Studios Natural History Unit with support from the photorealistic visual effects of Framestore (“Gravity,” “The Golden Compass”). Theme by Hans Zimmer, with an original score by Zimmer, Anže Rozman and Kara Talve for Bleeding Fingers Music.
“Prehistoric Planet: Ice Age” continues the storytelling journey of the acclaimed Apple TV natural history series “Prehistoric Planet,” which transported viewers 66 million years into the past to witness the age of dinosaurs across two seasons. Blending cinematic storytelling with photorealistic visual effects, the series brings ancient worlds to life, offering a firsthand look at some of the most extraordinary creatures ever to walk the Earth. The complete first two seasons of “Prehistoric Planet” are available to stream now on Apple TV.
Highlights from Whitley Fund for Nature´s People for Planet Summit
Take a look back at this “incredibly inspiring and hopeful” event, sharing solutions to protect and restore nature.
“One of the most uplifting, energising and informative events that I have been to in years”, “invigorating and thought-provoking”, and “a powerful reminder of what’s possible when passion and purpose meet.”
Our sold-out People for Planet Summit gathered 18 speakers from 10 countries, including Whitley Award-winning conservationists, at London’s Royal Institution on 8 October. Ahead of COP30 when world leaders will convene in the Brazilian Amazon, the one-day event explored solutions to conserve nature with leaders from the worlds of science, technology, finance and the arts.
Hosted by science and natural history broadcaster Liz Bonnin, the special event welcomed over 350 people, with Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, Whitley Fund for Nature’s Patron for more than 25 years, attending some of the afternoon’s sessions.
Across panels, a keynote and lightning talks, speakers discussed tracking animals from space, using AI to map the biosphere, the latest innovations in nature finance, how species are moving in response to climate change, and more. We heard updates from the field from the world’s most biodiverse countries, gained a deeper understanding of the challenges we face, and celebrated conservation successes – from rebounding species to government agreements and big lawsuit wins.
Throughout the day, networking breaks offered attendees the chance to meet the speakers and form new connections with an audience packed with conservationists, students, journalists, and industry professionals.
Themed ‘Turning the Tide: Stories that Inspire Change’, the Evening of Storytelling was hosted by BBC News’ Luxmy Gopal and featured TED-style talks from Whitley Award winners, a moving performance from THE HERDS, and a sneak preview of the brilliant ‘A Gorilla Story’, David Attenborough’s new feature documentary for Netflix. Watch the talks here...
We are celebrating! Over 60 nations have finally ratified the Global Ocean Treaty, meaning it will enter into force early next year. This is a massive moment for our ocean and planet, and one of the biggest conservation victories in recent years.
We at Greenpeace have been campaigning on it for over twenty years – and we couldn’t have done it without your support! Thank you!
Currently, less than 1% of our global ocean is protected, meaning its waters and the species in them are vulnerable to industrial fishing, oil drilling, and maybe soon, deep sea mining. The Treaty is the first legal framework between governments enabling them to create a global network of Ocean Sanctuaries (also known as marine protected areas or MPAs). Harmful human activity is banned in these areas, meaning vast portions of the ocean will be left alone, allowing nature to recover and thrive. This is our best chance to protect at least 30% of the world’s ocean by 2030.
It’s a long old process: the idea was born two decades ago, then it was agreed at the UN in 2023, and now it will come alive in 2026. It’s important to celebrate these steps; each one has taken sustained public campaigning, numerous meetings at the UN, difficult conversations with politicians, and of course, lots of public pressure from people who care as much about our blue planet as we do. People power really does work, and this is yet another example of that
Many of us do not consider the ocean intrinsic to our everyday lives. But all the water we drink is connected to it in a cycle. Half the world’s oxygen comes from the ocean. And every cell in our body contains salt and water. Some might say, we are the ocean
Last year, we took Arctic Sunrise to Bermuda, right in the middle of the world’s only sea without land borders, the Sargasso Sea in the Atlantic Ocean. Bermuda’s economy, climate and identity are closely tied to the health of the Sargasso Sea, a unique ecosystem that is a prime candidate for an ocean sanctuary under the Global Ocean Treaty. Baby turtles grow in floating forests of golden Sargassum seaweed. Eels travel the 6,400km from there to the UK and back to breed. It is an essential site in need of protection
We have been working with local fishers, students, scientists, civil servants, and community leaders there to help protect the Sargasso Sea, and preserve Bermudian’s way of life for future generations. We were even lucky enough to co-create a film, From The Sea, We Came, with local Bermudians

‘Super Nature’ review: Impactful Super 8 natural world doc exec-produced by Asif Kapadia
Ed Sayers’ feature documentary features Super 8 footage from contributors in 25 countries.
We have become used to seeing the natural world on screen in all its high-definition glory, the latest filmmaking technology enabling crisp, close-up detail at macro and micro level. With Super Nature, however, debut feature filmmaker Ed Sayers takes a different approach, stitching together a patchwork of short vignettes from around the world all shot on vintage Super 8 cameras. The result is surprisingly immersive, the format and subject working in harmony to create a global overview of the natural world, and our place within it.But the picture has other strengths: the satisfying, fleshed-out performances are one. Another is the look of the picture, a handsomely photographed appreciation of the British landscape and the creatures that inhabit it.
Bowing in London’s documentary competition, Super Nature is executive produced by Oscar-winning filmmaker Asif Kapadia (Amy, Senna) – whose interest in environmental issues fuelled his own 2024 sci-fi documentary hybrid 2073. That should certainly help draw attention to this film, which should find an appreciative audience likely via a streamer or broadcaster. It could also be utilised as an effective tool for education and advocacy.
Sayers is a long-time lover of the Super 8 format and established the Super 8 filmmaking competition Straight 8 in 1999. When one of the entrants, Frenchman Roger Batteault, submitted a short film of flamingos in flight, this inspired Sayers to go out with his own Super 8 camera and film seals on the Norfolk Coast. From that moment, in early 2020, evolved the idea for Super Nature, in which over 40 worldwide contributors – including many from the Straight 8 community together with conservationists, biologists and activists – were supplied with two Super 8 cameras each and asked to film the natural world around them.
These two-to-three minutes clips come from 25 countries and feature a veritable menagerie of animals: there are desert quail in the USA; whales in Argentina; puffins in Whales; reindeer in Norway; monkeys in India; kangaroos in Australia. There are also a vast range of landscapes, from the mountains of Valle d’Aosta, Italy to the rivers of Scotland’s Isle of Lewis and the Storm Alex (2020) ravaged coastline of Le Var, France.
Working as editor, Sayers has done a terrific job of stitching together this seemingly disparate footage into a cohesive whole. There is no obvious throughline as such – although Sayers does insert his own voiceover throughout as he reacts to the videos and presents his own footage – but links and connections soon begin to emerge. Urban centres like Delhi and Bangkok play host to a surprising variety of wildlife. Underwater reefs in Tasmania and Granada – where an underwater statue park has been erected to regenerate the coral – are teeming with aquatic life.
With each contributor also providing snippets of narration, shared passions and concerns also come to the fore. There’s an overwhelming love of the natural world, of course, and a worry about environmental change. In Kenya, park ranger Zacharia discusses the responsibility of looking after the last two remaining northern white rhinos, both female, and of efforts to bring the species back from the brink. In the middle of the Pacific Ocean, 2000km from land, Valentina films from aboard a boat which drags huge netfuls of human waste – shoes, electronics, plastic bottles – from the sea. “It’s terrifying to think about the mark we’re making on our planet,” she says.”
The film is, however, shot through with a great deal of hope. In Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Fanta works tirelessly at a turtle sanctuary; in the USA’s Mojave Desert, Dani devotes her life to protecting snakes. The Super 8 format itself lends a tactile, nostalgic feel that proves warm and immediate, removing barriers between viewer and subject. And with Super 8 being a silent format, the footage is augmented by David McAulay’s textured sound design and a sensitive, uplifting soundtrack from Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, which emphasises the beauty of these natural subjects, and the essential connection between them and us.
Discover 'Super Nature,' a breathtaking film that celebrates the beauty of our planet. This video explores the film's unique approach, focusing on connection and appreciation rather than dire warnings.
Fear factor: Unpacking Netflix’s Nightmares of Nature
Series producer Doug Mackay-Hope and director Nathan Small on the streamer’s new genre-blending series.
Setting out to create an entirely new TV genre – where horror meets natural history – is a bit like being given the keys to a new rocket ship that comes without instructions. Sure, it could take you into a brave new world, but it has just as much chance of exploding on takeoff.
When making Netflix’s Nightmares of Nature, the best way to avoid or, at least, reduce the chances of the ‘exploding’ part is to make sure you work with the very best people.
At Plimsoll, we have the natural history part sewn up; we know nature, how to get close, discover her secrets and capture them on film.
It was the horror aspect we knew nothing about even though we’re massive fans of the genre. To solve that, we partnered with the best, and Blumhouse is, by far, the absolute best.
As soon as Blumhouse agreed to join forces on the series, the scream team enrolled a bunch of natural-history geeks in Scare School, which was as fun as it sounds, and it instantly became clear that our collaboration was a real melding of minds.
Although we (thankfully) left with all our limbs intact, our thoughts raced with a whole dictionary of new terms, and we still needed to solve the biggest challenge this series faced: How do we put our animal heroes through hell on earth yet make sure they are safe at the same time?
New film from Bevis Bowden: Marginalia | song to the river
Marginalia | song to the river is a film that explores the river and its wildlife in a time of increasing land pressure and climate change.
Through poetry, song and statement this film asks us who we are and how we fit into the dynamic of our surroundings and nature.
The film features the commissioned poem Isis written by Penny Boxall with additional contributions from Ricardo Pérez-de la Fuente, Jonathan Westaway and Lukas Krone. They discuss the environments lost to climate change, the river as a breathing, moving super organism and the deep sense of obligation astronauts have about conservation on returning to earth.
The music for the film was composed by Alex Smalley and Alex Lucas with the choral elements sung by the Choir of Merton College, Oxford.
Marginalia | song to the river was filmed as part of Merton College's Creative Arts Fellowship between October 2023 and August 2024 along a section of the Thames upstream from Oxford with additional elements filmed at Merton College, Oxford.
Marginalia | song to the river will screen on the:
23rd August as part of the Presteigne Festival | Gwyl Llanandras in the Welsh Marches. The programme will also include my film Raising the Hare and a selection of films from my ongoing project Observations from Isfryn.
1
st - 30th September as part of the Totally Thames Festival.
12th October as part of PhotoMonth at the Hackney Picturehouse - a double bill with the film Water Rats by Jillian Edelstein. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with the photographer Tom Hunter.

More than 25 years after it first stomped onto our screens, the groundbreaking Walking with Dinosaurs is back in a major new BBC Studios production for BBC and PBS, co-produced with ZDF and France Télévisions. This six-part series reimagines the much-loved original with cutting-edge science, cinematic storytelling, and state of the art visual effects.
Each episode explores the dramatic life story of a different dinosaur, drawing directly from real- time fossil discoveries made by the world’s leading palaeontologists. As these ancient bones emerge from the earth, the show uses the latest scientific evidence and stunning visual effects from Lola to bring their prehistoric stories vividly to life, guiding audiences back through the Mesozoic Era like never before.
To help bring this historic era to life, ENVY played a big part providing a full range of post- production services.
Colourist, Sonny Sheridan; Online Editor, Adam Grant; Re-Recording Mixer, Bob Jackson; and Technical Operations Manager, Matt Cole explain the process
Laying the Bedrock
“This latest series has come a long way both in terms of technology and production”, comments Bob Jackson, who also mixed the audio of the 1999 series. “I began working on this new series in May 2024 where we set out how we would deliver the most accurate series we could.”
“During this process, ENVY and the BBC Studios Production Team were in regular contact with academics who advised us on sounds that would have been true to the time, such as birds and insects that would have been living. As an example, we could use the sounds of crickets but not cicadas. This consultation period was ongoing for the first 6 months that I was involved in the project and we were able to build up a collection of sounds to design the environments.”
Prior to ENVY working on the series, BBC Studios had already begun storyboarding and previsualising sequences in collaboration with VFX vendor Lola Post Production. ENVY and Lola subsequently worked together to facilitate the turnover of plates and delivery of VFX. “During this period, which lasted between 12-18 months, we turned over more than 2000 plates as well as the lens grids and photogrammetry Lola needed for their work.”, notes Cole.
Sonny Sheridan adds, “Sequences were shot on location with a crew going out to record clean plates. Lola would ‘de-age’ the location before adding the dinosaurs into the environment.”
BBC Scotland commissions feature-length documentary about world’s most famous grizzly
Friel Kean Films will dig into story of how wrestler Andy Robin tamed the famous grizzly
BBC Scotland has ordered a feature-length doc about the world’s most famous grizzly bear, Hercules.
Friel Kean Films will produce the single, which comes at the same time as the indie secured a follow-up series of BBC Scotland prison documentary Inside Barlinnie.
Hercules the Bear – A Love Story will reveal the true story of how Scottish wrestler Andy Robin and his wife Maggie adopted a nine-month-old bear cub in 1975. Through never-before-seen home video footage and interviews, the doc will reveal how they raised him as part of their family and won international fame, including appearances in the James Bond film Octopussy and on the front cover of Time magazine.
Glasgow-based Friel Kean’s co-founder Michelle Friel will direct and exec produce the film. She said: “The story of Hercules is in essence a love story, between Andy and Maggie and the bear that they made part of their family. It is such a heart-warming story, and we hope that audiences will fall in love with Hercules all over again.”
Maggie Robin said: “There was a lot of human in Herc and a lot of bear in Andy. If Andy was a bear, he’d be Herc – and if Herc was a human, he’d be Andy. They were best pals.”
Chris Packham narrates ‘Killing our countryside’, a film which reveals the damage done to our wildlife and countryside by the shooting industry’s mass release of tens of millions of pheasants and partridges every year.
The film, and the accompanying campaign, make the argument for a ban on the production and release of birds for shooting.
The report details not only the horrific cruelty of so-called ‘game bird’ shooting, but also the devasting impact that it has on our environment and wildlife. Every year around 40-60 million non-native pheasants and partridges are released into the British countryside, trampling flora and outcompeting native wildlife for food. Toxic lead shot pollutes the land and waterways, poisoning animals. In reality, shooting is a million miles from its portrayal as a rural, natural pastime.
Viral animation uncovers the shocking mistreatment of foxhounds
– Narrated by Chris Packham
We’ve just released our latest animation, narrated by Chris Packham! This 60-second film exposes the shocking mistreatment of foxhounds by hunts and reveals how the hunting world is exploiting these animals in a desperate attempt to protect their cruel pastime.
Groundbreaking research carried out by Protect the Wild earlier this year found a staggering 2,444 welfare incidents involving foxhounds in just the last 3 hunting seasons and that’s what motivated us to create this animation.
I won’t say too much more, I’d rather you see it for yourself.
Since going live last night, the film has already been viewed over 600,000 times, and thousands of people have joined the call urging the Government to deliver on its promise to ban trail hunting.
Please share or forward this email to family and friends, and encourage them to add their names to the petition too.
With thanks to Chris Packham for his continued support and the brilliant Fire Lily Studio for putting it together for us.
Join Viva! for an inspiring – and deeply thought-provoking – Trilogy of Talks that reveal the truth about our connection with animals and the natural world.
From the hidden horrors of industrial farming to the wild magic of ecological restoration, Viva! founder Juliet Gellatley and Randal Plunkett, the 21st Baron of Dunsany, share powerful, personal journeys from their extraordinary lives.
Viva!'s Juliet Gelatley transports an audience back to her first experience of entering a factory farm, describing how it felt to be a young teenager traipsing through rows upon rows of pigs confined to cages, gnawing on their metal prisons – and how this moment led to her dedicating her life to saving animals.
For over 30 years, Viva! has been at the forefront of animal campaigning and this is Juliet's personal and unfiltered story of how she launched and sustained the vegan charity through its ups and downs.
Randal Plunket, the 21st Baron of Dunsany, discusses how he is transforming his inherited estate into a wildlife haven through the 'rewilding movement', a form of environmental restoration that he has rebranded as 'V-Wilding'. By rewilding a third of his considerable estate, Plunkett has seen huge swathes of lost species return to their natural habitat, driving the return of biodiversity. In this talk for Viva!, he uses his trademark humour and wit to discuss the cost of progress, the unbelievable arrogance of humans and his contributions to natural restoration.
Viva! founder and director Juliet Gellatley delivers a searing indictment of the meat industry, describing it as a "vast machinery of greed" that desecrates the sanctity of life. Drawing on decades of firsthand experience entering factory farms, she recounts the horrors hidden behind their walls and exposes how animals are reduced to mere cogs in the machine of death. In this talk, Juliet unpacks the megalithic power of the industry, from its immense financial backing to its far-reaching influence and relentless stream of misinformation. She confronts the uphill battle of challenging its lies while calling for a dismantling of the system that profits from suffering.

From the co-creator of the sensational hit documentary films Cowspiracy & What The Health, comes HOW TO MAKE DRUGS (and feel great about everything), a comedic look at the process of drug development in the US, uncovering the wasteful, dangerous and the often absurd use of animal testing in the 21st century.
Through interviews with premier researchers, physicians, policy experts, lobbyists and activists, a story unravels of unchecked government spending, entrenched culture and faulty science costing taxpayers billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of lives each year.
One moment changed Juliet´s life forever – and led her to start Viva!
She says: ¨As a teenager, I snuck into a factory farm and saw the truth with my own eyes. From that day, our mission has been clear: end cruelty, inspire compassion, and build a kinder world.
Together, we’ve shut down farms, rescued animals, and exposed the reality of factory farming to millions. Now, I’m asking you to help secure Viva!’s future – for the animals who still need us.¨

My Role on the Katavi Series – ¨Over several years, I had the privilege of working on the Katavi series during both the dry and rainy seasons, immersed deep in the bush. My primary role involved extensive long-lens cinematography from a vehicle, supported by my incredible local drivers – Naiti and Kahimba – whose tracking skills and instinct in the field were invaluable.
Alongside ground-based filming, I also operated drones to capture aerials and dynamic bird-following shots that helped bring the vastness and drama of Katavi to life from above.
During my time there, I picked up some “kidogot” Swahili, basic tracking techniques, and, more importantly, a profound respect for the land and its rhythms. I filmed intense and emotional wildlife behavior, including dramatic hippo fights, a rare pelican kill, and powerful sequences of infanticide – alongside many other unforgettable moments from this remarkable series.
A highlight of this experience was being mentored and deeply inspired by Owen Prümm – an extraordinary filmmaker, cameraman, and bushman. His passion and presence in the field made this one of the most meaningful and unforgettable chapters in my career.¨ Luana Knipfer
