Stories

We search for joy, obscured histories and solutions on the frontlines of climate change and biodiversity loss.

Our story programming includes short films, articles and photo essays.

We honour the expertise and contributions of those historically silenced and underrepresented in media and science, including Indigenous, queer and femme experts, who are reshaping the forests of the future.

We run collaborative data stewardship projects using 16 motion-sensor cameras assembled in a non-invasive camera trap line.

Wildlife cameras are a non-invasive tool for empowering community data inquiry and informing biodiversity stewardship.
