A Climate Neutral certified, nonprofit organization, discovering the intersection of wildlife, wild places and adventure in an effort to affect conservation through storytelling. Our global leaders offer seed-seed stories, works of art, and live events to inspire a better future.

SITREP

There’s a natural balance found in nature between life and the environment it lives in. In less than 200 years, human population has increased from 1 billion to nearly 8 billion today and our pressure on the wild has taken a toll. In just 100 years the world has lost 500 species that are linked to human activity. Human impact is not sustainable for our earth. Through eco-smart expeditions, we will use the visuals that we collect to tell important stories that make an impact with highly experienced, skilled adventuring, creative professionals. Eco-smart tourism can lead the path forward.

MAKE THE MISSION POSSIBLE

A plethora of time-critical situations are unfolding around the globe. These hotspots invite us to quickly deploy our teams to on a regular basis with a sense of urgency. It’s happening now and we need your help to fund our mission.
