IMPACT

At Reel Earth Films, we believe that powerful stories have the ability to ignite action. Our films are more than just visual narratives—they are catalysts for real-world change. By combining stunning cinematography with deep conservation impact, we connect audiences to the natural world and provide tangible ways to make a difference.

Our Approach

We don’t just document wildlife—we partner with the scientists, conservationists, and local communities working to protect it. Each of our films is paired with an impact campaign that channels resources, funding, and equipment directly to those on the front lines of conservation. Through strategic collaborations, we ensure that our storytelling drives measurable, lasting results.

How We Create Change

  • Funding Conservation Efforts – A portion of our film proceeds, along with direct audience contributions, go toward supporting field research, habitat restoration, and wildlife protection.

  • Providing Essential Tools – From camera traps to field equipment, we supply the tools scientists and researchers need to continue their vital work.

  • Supporting Local Communities – We work alongside local communities to ensure conservation efforts align with their needs and foster sustainable solutions.

  • Educational Resources – We create accessible learning materials, workshops, and outreach programs that engage communities in conservation.

“NEVER DOUBT THAT A SMALL GROUP OF THOUGHTFUL, COMMITTED CITIZENS CAN CHANGE THE WORLD; INDEED, IT’S THE ONLY THING THAT EVER HAS.”

– MARGARET MEAD

Behind the scenes of every film, we nurture an ongoing partnership with wildlife conservation experts to improve the health and habitats of the species we showcase and the humans who live and work with them every day.

How it works

Optimizing Education & Outreach

With our in-house team of biologists, researchers, philanthropists, and creatives, we ensure accurate, high-quality educational campaigns to amplify on-the-ground conservation initiatives.

Making Mission-Critical Resources Accessible

We offset administrative costs and provide essential scientific equipment to our conservation partners, so they can focus on saving lives.

Funding Ongoing Conservation Research

Our ecosystems are changing at a faster pace than ever. To help humans and non-human species adapt, we proudly fund the best available research.

Impact in Action

  • Gray Area: Wolves of the Southwest contributed to awareness and policy discussions surrounding Mexican gray wolf conservation, supporting research and public engagement on their recovery.

  • The Lone Wolverine of the Wallowas provided critical support to scientists by deploying trail cameras, which helped detect the presence of wolverines in the Wallowa Mountains, contributing to their ongoing study and conservation.

  • Burrowing Owls: A Love Story has supported efforts to install artificial burrows across the West, providing safe nesting sites for burrowing owls in need and aiding in their habitat restoration.
