      <image:caption>After almost a decade of The Rusty Mokoro it was time to make a shift into a new era of our conservation and wildlife film productions. Our objective still stays true: we are dedicated to authentic, story-driven conservation and wildlife filmmaking.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Field Journal - Year in Review — 2025 at Conservation Connect Films - A family affair!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Filmed over the course of nearly three years, it was very much a family affair with our son Zambezi coming along for month-long trips to some of Zambia’s remotest wilderness areas for many of the shoots. Production officially started a month before he was born — and we released the film four months before his third birthday.</image:caption>

We were thrilled to have two of our films recognised and awarded: GOLD AWARD: “At Nature’s Pace” immerses the viewer into the secret magic of the Luangwa Valley, slowing down to the pace of nature (Tourism Category) SILVER AWARD: “One Park, Many World’s” a short film we made for the Bale Mountains National Park in Ethiopia (Conservation Category)</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Shortly after ITFFA we made our way across to Maun, Botswana to share a wonderful three days with industry experts and African filmmakers where we met old colleagues and came away with many new friends. The aim of the festival was to: Celebrate the role of Botswana and Africa in the International Wildlife Film Industry. Festivals like Wildscreen give a sense of community and solidarity at a time when the filmmaking world is undergoing a massive shift. The industry has taken a massive downturn over the last couple of years, but through all the conversations and panels, we all remain positive that we will get through this.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Field Journal - Year in Review — 2025 at Conservation Connect Films - Giving Back</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many of you might remember the start of Conservation Storytelling, born during Covid. Due to many of life’s events, Conservation Storytelling was put on the back burner for a few years. With support from our previous Patreon’s and their generosity, we used these remaining funds to help rebuild Conservation Storytelling and subsidise four cohorts of trainings — total of 32 people — delivered to field rangers, researchers, guides and management in Botswana, Zimbabwe and Zambia. Each training built off the foundation of enabling field teams and organisations to tell their own narrative, equipping them with the capacity too take photographs, develop essential narrative skills and observational practices to improve their reporting and storytelling. By giving back to our craft both Conservation Connect Films and Mana Meadows Photography are proud to support Conservation Storytelling, and we look forward to collaborating with more teams in 2026. If you would like to consider supporting Conservation Storytelling, please get in touch or learn more here.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>“We’re so excited to share the story of this very special national park — a beautiful wilderness that has recovered — and prospered — in the face of serious adversity. More so, the journey taken by the small but extremely dedicated team of the Nsumbu Tanganyika Conservation Programme, who are behind this remarkable recovery. And of course — the story of both ecological and cultural revival — as lions return to a landscape, and to a people who have never forgotten them.</image:caption>
