Campaign
Our OSPREY outreach campaign celebrates this magnificent species, and covers in a detailed case study the making of our inspiring wildlife film.
In previous podcasts:
- PBS‘s Bill Gardner describes how Jacob’s osprey pitch reel ‘popped’ against the criteria that he uses to evaluate documentary projects, leading to the coproduction between WNET’s NATURE series and Love Nature.
- Dr. Alan Poole is a leading osprey scientist and author of OSPREYS: THE REVIVAL OF A GLOBAL RAPTOR. In a fascinating conversation with Melanie Wallace, Alan describes the magnificent osprey, its evolution to become a superb fish-hunter, annual migrations that can cross hemispheres, the role of the nest, its tender raising of its chicks, the species’ recovery from the path to extinction, and much more.
- Next podcast: Janet Hess, series editor for NATURE reveals her process for writing a primetime NATURE special.
