Wildscreen USA: Our Mission
Wildscreen USA, a nonprofit organization, is using the power of wildlife imagery to promote an appreciation and understanding of nature. We believe a public unaware of the world’s rich biodiversity cannot be motivated to protect our natural world. To achieve this mission we are spearheading U.S. efforts in support of the ARKive project, a unique collection of thousands of videos, images and fact-files illustrating the world's threatened species.
Through the ARKive initiative, we are gathering, protecting and sharing photos, film and audio clips of threatened species to:
- inspire greater interest in nature
- illustrate the wonders of our natural world.
- educate about the threats facing our planet's biodiversity.
- promote wildlife conservation and protection
