APPEAL FOR HELP. Some of you may remember I spent a month earlier this year working with a community in Manila, training youths to shoot and produce film whilst also helping out kids like these get a meal every day. They really need our help right now. A fire broke out last week which has left 29 families homeless and 36 children have lost all of their school supplies and uniforms, without which they are not able to go to school. . It costs £25 per child to replace uniforms and supplies and £200 to replace the families roofs. . Every bit of support is critical right now and if anyone is able to donate anything you will have mine, the community and the @purplecommunityfund ‘s utter heartfelt thanks. Head to https://www.p-c-f.org/get-involved/donate/ to send over whatever you can and please share if you are able. Let’s get these kids back to school and a roof over their heads 💜

!!NEWS FLASH!! 🤯 @leonardodicaprio has picked up the Five Forests film that I made!!!!!!!!! The incredible legend of a gentleman has reposted the short clip of it I posted on Instagram and this has now being picked up by news organisations across Central America from Honduras to Nicaragua. The aim is that this will raise the profile of the #fiveforests and a movement, spearheaded by @thewcs and @global_wildlife_conservation can gain momentum to conserve these five irreplaceable wildernesses as key to preserving the identity of mesoamerica and essential in the fight against climate change.

🔈Short clip for a longer film I made for @thewcs and @global_wildlife_conservation that was screened at the New York Climate Week this weekend (deslizar hacia la izquierda para texto en español) . Across Central America there are five great forests. You’ll see me working a lot in the future to promote the efforts conservationists and local and indigenous peoples are doing to protect these bastions of wilderness that shelter biodiversity, culture, ancient history and are essential in the fight against climate change.

An endangered Baird’s tapir mother and calf. Across Central America there are some truly wild places that sustain both people and wildlife. For example, five million people literally depend on five major Central American forests to survive. They also lock away more than half the regions carbon. So without them, like this calf without it’s mum, many many people would be abandoned.

🔈Rhinos. Literally nothing else comes close in badassery... happy #worldrhinoday!!! Don’t even think about touching their horns 🦏

Electric blue in the Maldives ⚡️ 🌊 so stoked to be working with the phenomenal @renegadesurf in mechanical pristine surf with wildlife, good times and empty waves around every reef. Already looking forward to 2020!!

Fun fact - elephants make subsonic growls, beyond the range of human hearing, that they receive through their sponge like feet allowing them to communicate over vast distances and hear the rumble of thunder long before rains have arrived 🦶🐘⛈Happy #worldelephantday!!

Fun fact, chickens are the closest living relative of the Tyrannosaurus Rex (more so than alligators and crocodiles) and therefore don’t need a bike to look badass. But it does help.

Sweden yeeeeew bewwwwty!!! 🇸🇪 over half the country is covered with forest and that’s rather awesome I reckon 🌳 . Working on editing several projects at the moment with trips to the Maldives, South Africa and Mozambique scheduled for the next couple months. 🇲🇻 🇿🇦 🇲🇿

(sound on 🎧) Here’s a small taste of what I’ve been up to! 🎞 A teaser for a film to come for @incab_brasil and @institutoipe highlighting their work preserving tapirs in the Brazilian Amazon. Still on expedition now so it’ll be a while before the full thing is released... (swipe left for part 2)🌳 music by @musoscientific
