Scientists, naturalists, wildlife biologists, government officials, wildlife photographers and outdoor filmmakers all tell the story of wildlife conservation. They emphasize our responsibility to be good stewards of wildlife and their habitat so wildlife will not be lost to us, our children, or our children's children.

Wild animals of all kinds and their habitat are facing unprecedented threats
due to humanity’s massive population explosion and urbanization. The
planet’s human population is now 7.4 billion people. In the United
States, 81.5% of all children live in cities. Experts predict numbers
like these may double in the next 50 years.
The Shepherds of Wildlife Society™ has been created specifically to educate
modern society about and reconnect it with nature. Our goal is to
produce world-class educational materials utilizing dynamic video and
still photography, plus mainstream documentary films showcasing the real
world of wildlife around us.
Scientists, naturalists, wildlife biologists, wildlife photographers and artists
all tell the story of wildlife on a species-by-species basis and
emphasize our responsibility to be good stewards of wildlife and their
habitat so wildlife will not be lost to us, our children, or our
children's children
Unless the value of wildlife and habitat within our culture is increased now
and in the future, wild animals face a future where they will only exist
in parks and zoos. What few animals survive will be forever
habitualized by humans and no longer exist in the wild.
So how can we stop one of the greatest travesties in human history?
Education. As creators of powerful public-influencing visual media,
we're in a unique position to produce the kind of educational materials
that will have INFLUENCE AND IMPAC
We would like to personally thank you for your interest in and support of
our efforts to educate children and the many others in the broader
public who no longer interface with wild places or Mother Nature about
the importance of wildlife and conservation.
There's no time to waste. Please join us in motivating and educating people to
become good stewards of the environment where man and wildlife can all
survive and thrive.
