The Heart of the Film

Global wildlife experts fight to save Earth’s most beloved animals from mass extinction and environmental collapse – armed with a radical new approach to conservation called rewilding that aims to restore entire ecosystems, from the cloud forests of Rwanda to the California coast.

A Glimpse Into Rewilding

The documentary dives deep into rewilding, a conservation strategy designed to restore ecosystems and protect biodiversity by reducing human influence.

In the cloud forests of Rwanda, local wildlife defenders are working tirelessly to protect the iconic mountain gorillas. By expanding national park boundaries, they not only help the gorillas but also build a sustainable eco-tourism economy, creating tangible benefits for local communities.

Along the Pacific Coast of North America, wildlife experts from state, federal, and tribal organizations are restoring the native otter population. As a keystone species, otters are crucial in anchoring kelp forests that nourish over 1,000 species, supporting a thriving marine ecosystem.

But the clock is ticking. Threats like climate change—warming the oceans beyond the point of no return—and invasive species disrupting delicate ecosystems are pushing Earth’s biodiversity to the brink. Rewilding offers a ray of hope, but immediate action is needed.

Why You Should Attend

Escape from Extinction: Rewilding offers a powerful look at how innovative conservation efforts can shape a better future for our planet. It’s a must-see for anyone passionate about nature, sustainability, and protecting Earth’s most endangered species. Whether you’re a nature lover, environmental advocate, or simply curious about conservation, this film will provide valuable insights and inspire action.
