Wildscreen launches NatureStory

Wildscreen are excited to announce the launch of NatureStory, our very own online community connecting photographers, filmmakers, educators, and nature enthusiasts around the world through the power of storytelling.  

At a time when voices for nature are too often lost in the noise online, NatureStory provides a safe, inclusive space where anyone – from curious first-timers to professional storytellers – can share their stories, build skills, and join challenges that inspire action for the planet.  

“For nearly four decades, Wildscreen has united the world’s leading storytellers to connect people with nature. NatureStory is the next step in that mission — a global community where anyone, from curious beginners to award-winning professionals, can come together to tell the stories that will shape a healthier future for our planet,” said Lucie Muir, CEO, Wildscreen.

  • Shape the Future – Influence content and collaborate with award-winning filmmakers and photographers.
