Get Involved

As long as money keeps flowing towards nature destruction, we can’t solve the climate crisis and reverse biodiversity collapse. We need urgent government action to protect and restore nature and defund its destruction.

Act to end Nature Destruction

Ep 1: Pantanal

The Pantanal, the world’s largest tropical wetland, is on fire, with ecosystems and communities paying the price. Since 2013, over $201 billion has been given in credit to Brazil’s livestock and soya sectors, often linked to nature destruction.

‍

Amidst the crisis, we follow Paula on her tireless journey to protect endangered species and ecosystems, highlighting the resilience of those on the frontlines to protect their land and livelihoods.

"Witnessing nature’s destruction first-hand was both heartbreaking and eye-opening. The whole crew were incredible in responding to the pressures and dangers that come with such a project, and our audience will receive a true portrayal of what it means to live on the front-line and fight against something so deeply-rooted that it seems impossible to overcome, but where faith is not lost."

Ep 2: Urban Haze

In Porto Velho, Brazil, a health crisis is unfolding as thick haze from intentional fires in the Amazon suffocates the region. Residents, both in the city and surrounding areas, are struggling to breathe.

‍

This story follows Anderson, a dedicated doctor serving Indigenous communities, as he battles to manage the severe health impacts of the toxic smoke, which is disrupting the body's natural functions.

‍

"Here in our territory, we have a very dry climate which, along with this issue of haze, creates very alarming respiratory problems amongst our population. In every ten children, at least six experience coughing, and that number is still increasing by a lot.. a lot".
