Meet The Courageous Women Changing The Face of Wildlife Conservation •
We refer to Mother Nature as Her, yet so many of Her stories are told through a male lens.
In Her Nature reclaims Her voice in the first docuseries of its kind.
There is an army of women around the world; scientists, doctorates, environmentalists, activists, anti-poaching patrol leaders… unstoppable women taking multi-million dollar palm oil corporations to court.
They are dedicating their lives to save our world’s most at-risk species and habitats. In Her Nature tells their stories. Filmed, directed, and produced by an all-woman team of award-winning wildlife and conservation filmmakers. Together, we’re telling these untold stories of our sisters.
Our stories.
Watch The Series Trailer
Wildlife encounters like you’ve never seen. And the courageous women dedicating their lives to saving our world’s most endangered species.
The first season of In Her Nature dedicates 6 episodes to intimate footage of Nepal’s Greater One-horned Rhinos, Tigers and Elephants. Costa Rica’s shy sloths. And critically endangered Chameleons, Lemurs and Tortoises in Madagascar.
In Her Nature takes us into the wild national parks of Nepal where Rhinos and Tigers run free, the deepest corners of Indonesia’s Leuser Ecosystem, untouched corners of Madagascar and the site of the world’s first Sloth Census in Costa Rica.
Nepal
The remarkable story of Doma Paudel, Nepal’s first female nature tour guide. She safeguards families from Nepal’s wildlife by day, and protects species from illegal poachers by night.
Having faced the tragedy of losing her own Mother to a tragic rhino attack, she channeled her grief into a lifelong commitment to safeguarding Nepal's rhinos and tigers. Doma's work extends to rehabilitating and rewilding orphaned baby rhinos, and collaborating with Nepal's army to orchestrate village-wide, anti-poaching patrols.
Costa Rica
Our team is invited to document a groundbreaking study in Costa Rica, where overdevelopment and tourism is stealing sloth habitats.
The Great Sloth Census is the world’s first comprehensive sloth population census, with the objective to collect enough data to officially put Sloths on the endangered species list. Under the guidance of Dr. Rebecca Cliffe, with support from her team, (including a specially trained sloth detective dog), they are on a mission to count every sloth dwelling in Costa Rica.
Sloths have evolved to remain elusive in the jungle, yet this episode offers rare and intimate encounters with these ancient creatures, bringing us up close to their enigmatic world.
Madagascar
Where the World’s rarest primate is being nurtured back into existence after being assumed already extinct. Where veterinarians dedicated 15 years to protect, raise and release1,000 Critically Endangered Tortoises into the wild. Where the first Malagasy Herpetologist spends her nights in the forest to uncover the secrets of the island’s 130 mesmerizing and endangered chameleon species.
Our Madagascar episodes bring you these incredible stories. And the incredible, incredible women behind them.
Indonesia
We join a team of conservationists led by Farwiza Farhan, who are working to protect the Leuser Ecosystem in North Sumatra, Indonesia. This is the only place remaining on Earth where tigers, rhinos, orangutans and Sumatran elephants coexist in the wild.
As a woman in a country with significant gender inequality, Farwiza defied all odds when she won a court case against a palm oil corporation, winning an unprecedented US$26 million in damages. She is using this to fund vital conservation efforts to protect critically endangered wildlife in her homeland.
Impact
Our world needs saving, and these formidable women are leading the charge. Support us in our mission to amplify their voices and share these fundamental conservation projects with the world.
For the next generations of young women. Help us show them examples of what they can be. They can be world-leading scientists, they can be biologists, they can bring species back from the brink of extinction. They can rally entire armies to protect rhinos from being shot in the night.
