Jackson Wild, CITES and UNDP teamed up to inspire personal responsibility and stewardship for endangered creatures through a film showcase across the world. Films are awarded for their creativity and innovation in communicating important stories about the challenges facing our natural world, focusing on a specific theme every year (e.g. Elephants, Oceans, Biodiversity, Forests, Recovering Species, Conservation Heroes). Winners and finalist films entered into the competition will be shown throughout 2023 at embassies around the world.
