The first film of its kind promoting the protection of predators and their ecosystems, On Nature's Terms uses dramatic footage and inspirational stories to illustrate how ordinary citizens in both rural and urban America are doing their part to co-exist in harmony with predators.
Produced by award winning film producer John de Graaf, this ground-breaking film makes the important connection between the ecological, economic, and social factors for carnivore species conservation and the necessity of protecting the large connected expanses of land that they need to survive.
On Nature's Terms chronicles how age old myths and misperceived notions about these animals devastated predator populations and brought many near to extinction when settlers made their way west, and still persist today.
The overwhelming message of this film is about hope and possibility: how ordinary citizens - biologists, conservationists, agency personnel, ranchers, and home owners - through their work and through their lives, are protecting, maintaining and restoring these majestic species and their habitats.
An uplifting and optimistic approach to a serious environmental crisis: In this 25-minute video you will hear stories from Wyoming to California of the U.S Forest Service ripping up roads, ranchers using non-lethal methods of predator control, biologists studying urban wildlife, a coalition of diverse individuals and agencies protecting critical wildlife corridors and more.
The film deftly illustrates these beautiful majestic species and the places they inhabit are finding a place in America's landscapes and in the heart and minds of the American public.
An Invaluable Resource For Your OrganizationUse this film as a motivational force for public forums - as a training tool for staff and volunteers - or as an inspirational focus for fundraisers.
