ABOUT US

Our mission is to inform, engage and inspire audiences about the upmost need and importance of the protection of global biodiversity.

 

We do this through the annual film festivals in New York, Los Angeles and Monterrey, Mexico. WCFF also hosts in partnership events in Brazil, China, Nigeria and other countries. Our educational outreach programs take place on college and university campuses across the globe. All education outreach events are free for students, staff, faculty and the public to attend.

 

People that attend and participate in our events are international wildlife conservationists, filmmakers, photographers, scientists and people across the globe that work toward the preservation of global biodiversity.

Landscape Photography

Putting together an international film festival and biodiversity conference is no small expense, especially in New York. Sponsorship in the form of fiscal & in-kind donations help make the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival possible. Your contribution will help preserve global biodiversity and make the world a better place now and for future generations.
