Not every teacher stands at the front of a classroom.

Some teach by example. Some through stories, through the land, through years of experience. Some teach us how to care, how to listen, how to understand the world around us.

From rangers and conservationists to parents, elders, mentors and the people we meet along the way; there are lessons everywhere, if we take the time to notice.

This Teachers’ Day, we’re recognising the people who teach us something, often without ever calling themselves teachers.

The Land Remembers is currently being screened Frontier Sapiens Film Festival .

There’s something special about seeing a film travel beyond where it was made, finding new audiences and new conversations along the way.

We’re proud to have The Land Remembers on the festival screen and grateful to everyone watching, sharing and connecting with its story.

Out in the field, knowing your animals is everything. These guides have spent years learning the sounds, behaviour and signs that tell you what’s happening around them; and it shows.

From calls that can bring an animal closer to knowing exactly when to listen and when to leave wildlife undisturbed, their knowledge is a huge part of what makes a day in the bush so special.

And then there’s our director James Suter giving his own hyena call a try. A moment of joining in from behind the camera.

Nothing quite beats the sight of elephants making their way through the water; especially when they decide to pick up the pace.

A little glimpse from behind the lens, watching this herd move through the wetlands in their own rhythm.

Into the forest, cameras in hand, and hoping for a glimpse of one of the most incredible animals on Earth.

Behind every frame of a gorilla is a whole lot of patience, careful tracking, and a team completely captivated by what’s in front of the lens.

Today, on Gorilla Day, we’re reminded of just how much there is to protect in these forests; and how special it is to witness these incredible animals in their home.

Rhinos have been roaming these landscapes for millions of years. Today, their future depends on the people working to protect them.

From the field to the frame, we’re proud to tell stories that bring attention to these incredible animals and the work being done to keep them here.

Happy International Rhino Day.

One of those moments on assignment that reminds us why we love getting to spend time with the people behind the work.

Elephant Havens Wildlife Foundation , the bond between the carers and elephants is pretty special; and every now and then, the camera gets to capture a little bit of it.

Some come running. Some take their time.

But they all know the call; and they come straight for it.

These are orphans. Raised by their keepers with one goal in mind: to one day return to the wild. Every walk, every bottle, every grain of dust; it’s all part of getting them home.

This is why we do what we do. To connect people to stories that matter.

Nothing quite like the moment the dust settles and it’s just you, a bottle, and all that trust.

A lovely moment from the field
