Conservation Archive & Media Initiative (CAMI)
CAMI is a developing initiative to build one of the most comprehensive visual archives of Africa’s wildlife landscapes.
Across Africa, protected landscapes and safari concessions safeguard some of the most extraordinary wildlife ecosystems on Earth. These landscapes hold countless stories - of wildlife behaviour, ecological processes, and the people working to protect them.
Yet many of these stories remain visually undocumented.
CAMI - the Conservation Archive & Media Initiative - is a developing project by Conservation Connect Films designed to build a long-term visual archive of wildlife landscapes across Africa.
Through ongoing filmmaking in conservation areas and wildlife landscapes, CAMI aims to document wildlife behaviour, ecosystems, and conservation work while creating a growing archive of visual media that can support storytelling, education, and global media production.
CAMI is an initiative developed by Conservation Connect Films, a wildlife and conservation storytelling company dedicated to documenting the landscapes, wildlife, and people shaping conservation across Africa.
-
Wildlife landscapes are constantly evolving.
Predator interactions, seasonal migrations, ecosystem changes, and conservation successes unfold every day across these landscapes - but many of these moments are never recorded.
By returning to landscapes regularly and documenting wildlife behaviour over time, CAMI seeks to build a visual record of these stories while helping share them with global audiences.

Footage captured through CAMI contributes to a developing wildlife media archive documenting:
• wildlife behaviour
• ecosystems and landscapes
• conservation work in the field
• seasonal wildlife events.Over time this archive aims to support:
• wildlife documentary production
• conservation storytelling
• educational media
• global awareness of protected landscapes. -
CAMI works in partnership with organisations managing wildlife landscapes, including:
• conservation organisations
• protected area managers
• safari operators and lodge groups
• private wildlife reserves.These partnerships help ensure that the stories of these landscapes are documented and shared with wider audiences.

The long-term vision of CAMI is to build a growing archive documenting wildlife landscapes across Africa while supporting the storytelling efforts of conservation organisations and wildlife tourism operators.
By documenting these landscapes over time, CAMI aims to contribute to a visual record of Africa’s wildlife heritage for future generations.
If you are interested in exploring a partnership within your landscape, we would welcome the opportunity to start a conversation.
