World Wildlife Day
​Film Showcase

Jackson Wild and the Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) teamed up to inspire personal responsibility and stewardship for endangered creatures through a film showcase across the world. In 2015, we hosted the International Elephant Film Festival, which has reached over 8,000 people in 70+ countries. Building off of this success, we hosted the International Big Cats Film Festival in 2018 and the World Wildlife Day Film Showcase: Living Oceans in 2019, Biodiversity in 2020 and Forests in 2021. The 2022 film showcase will be one of the global events that will accompany the 2022 UN World Wildlife Day (3 March) celebrations and help illustrate its theme, “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration”. ​Winners and finalist films entered into the competition will be shown throughout 2022, showing films that explore the threats weighing on endangered species of wild fauna and flora, their central importance for their habitats and ecosystems and for the communities who live near them, and the numerous initiatives that are setting out to conserve them.

Recovering Species
2022

Along the celebration’s theme of “Recovering key species for ecosystem restoration”, organizers will seek to highlight films that explore the threats weighing on endangered species of wild fauna and flora, their central importance for their habitats and ecosystems and for the communities who live near them, and the numerous initiatives that are setting out to conserve them. Participating films will be shown throughout 2022 and will help raise awareness of the status of the world’s most vulnerable species but also showcase the power of long-term and innovative conservation efforts.

Forests
2021

Picture
An estimated 820 million people live in tropical forests and savannahs in developing countries, relying on forest ecosystems for their livelihoods and to cover their most basic needs, including food, energy and medicines. Wood and non-timber forest products make up a fifth of incomes in rural households in developing economies with access to forest resources, and the forest sector powers over 80 million jobs globally.

Biodiversity
2020

Picture
Our societies are intimately linked with and depend on biodiversity. Biodiversity is essential for people, including through its provision of nutritious food, clean water, medicines, and protection from extreme events. Biodiversity loss and the degradation of its contributions to people jeopardize progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and human wellbeing. The evidence of these connections is clear.

Living Oceans
​2019

Picture
Covering 2/3 of the planet, our oceans remain the least-understood ecosystems on Earth. In fact, we know more about the moon than we do the deep sea. Nonetheless, life on our planet began in the ocean and we rely on a healthy ocean for our very survival. Oceans regulate our climate, produce half the oxygen we breathe, drive the water cycle that provides rain and freshwater, and provides nourishment for 3+ billion people on the planet. Oceans absorb 30% of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere and fully 90% of the heat from climate change. 

Big Cats
2018

Learn more
Picture
Big cats are among the most widely recognized and admired animals across the globe. However, today these charismatic predators are facing many and varied threats, which are mostly caused by human activities. Overall, their populations are declining at a disturbing rate due to loss of habitat and prey, conflicts with people, poaching and illegal trade. Our aim is to galvanize the power of media to inspire wonder, catalyze change and move the dial on the conservation of big cats. 

Elephants
2016

learn more
Picture
At a time when the ivory-driven elephant crisis can still be stopped, it is essential to take action that empowers locally-driven engagement with measurable impact. The Elephant Film Festival is a component of worldwide public outreach and engagement efforts to empower action and inspire a sense of personal responsibility and stewardship for elephant conservation and in creating an equitable and sustainable future.
