There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Dereck Joubert: " The question of what we would be losing if elephants were to disappear in the wild was central to the story we wanted to tell in filming ‘Soul of the Elephant’. The impact our own species is having on these magnificent creatures manifests itself in so many complex ways – including an increasingly pronounced ‘tuskless’ trend (or reduced tusk size) among some populations. Tusklessness confers a degree of protection in the face of relentless poaching pressure, but its long-term impacts on how elephants behave, and their vital role in ecosystems, is hard to predict.

Beverly Joubert: " The elephant’s trunk is a marvel of nature, a snaking tube of muscle with enough dexterity to clutch a tiny seedpod and sufficient strength to tear a branch from a tree. But it takes some time for young elephants to master the use of this remarkable appendage and this calf clearly needs a bit more practice! "

Lucien Beaumont: " They appear the size of ants on the horizon and turn into giants beside you. At the peak of the dry season a bull arrives at the edge of the Amboseli swamp a magnet for thousands of elephant to mud bathe and feed on what little greenery remains. "

Dereck Joubert: " When you spend enough time with elephants, there is a certain kind of calm that envelops you. It is impossible in my eyes to be in their company and not feel mesmerised by their presence … their self-awareness, their obvious wisdom and intelligence. Capturing some of that on film always feels like a great privilege. “Okavango: River of Dreams – Divine Journey” is the fourth installment of the Okavango series – and it offers an intimate, behind-the-scenes look at the film-making process.

Beverly Joubert: " Africa’s super tuskers once roamed across much of Africa, but today they are a rarity with fewer than 25 left in the world. If we allow the last of these behemoths to perish, they will take with them the unique genes that produce such enormous tusks. If these giants fall, they will not rise again.⁣ "
