“Don’t fake it, just shoot it!” 🎥🐾

That was the key message of our presentations at Jackson Wild Summit 2025, where we launched the Wild Footage - AI Free Seal. A project aimed at our industry, building and keeping the trust that what our audiences see is real.

With the rise of video AI tools, generating wildlife footage has never been easier, and it’s becoming harder by the day to distinguish real from fake.

How do we address this challenge?

Markus Mooslechner took to the stage during the Wild West of AI panel to discuss the future of AI in the Natural History filmmaking industry, and how we can cement trust in our productions.

With our new authenticity campaign, you can get certified and confidently share with your audience that your Wild Footage is AI Free. We know that AI has many uses, as machine learning drives improvements in editing, transcription, and other critical systems. But audiences want to believe that what we show them exists, and we can foster that trust if we take action.

Happy Launch-Anniversary, Hera! 🚀🛰️

Speeding through our solar system right now is a spacecraft called Hera, developed by the European Space Agency to investigate whether we might be able to deflect incoming asteroids. And it has officially been one year since the spacecraft launched!

We brought together a team including Microsoft and Impact AI to create a revolution in Space Communication, the Hera Space Companion!

With real data from the spacecraft’s systems, an interactive 3D model, and a collection of the incredible images Hera has already captured, the Space Companion is changing the relationship between humans and machines.

Here’s the journey so far, and what people are saying about the Hera Space Companion.

Here’s what we uploaded in September!

🐋 The Lost Whale Ocean: What REALLY Happened to the Giants?

This full-length documentary dives into the fraught history of whale hunting across the world, focusing specifically on one of the largest cover-ups in history. What is the role of whales in our ocean, and how can we protect them into the future?

🦚 Bird Mating Dances from Around the World

Meet 12 of the worlds greatest dancing species: birds like the indian peafowl, the golden pheasant, and the albatross. Using clips from some of our best nature documentary productions, we try to answer the question: Which bird has the best moves?

🦁 Born to Rule: How a Lone Lion Conquered a Kingdom

This award-winning wildlife film answers the question: If a lion could speak, what story would it tell. Told using real wildlife footage shot over 10 years in Tanzania by visionary wildlife filmmaker Owen Prümm, this is a shakespearian tale of one lion’s journey from exiled cub to fearsome lion. Can he save his people from an unseen enemy?

10 years living among lions 😱

When director Owen Prümm first arrived in Ruaha, he didn’t yet know his next film would be about lions. But soon, the story became clear.
From gaining the trust of prides, sweating it out in 40°C heat, and even becoming a "babysitter" for lion cubs left in camp, the making of The Bastard King was an adventure.

Now, this story comes to life for the first time online. ✨

It’s Sustainable Development Goals Flag Day! 🌍🚩

At Terra Mater Studios, we adopted 5 core Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Here are 5 productions where we put them into practice:

♻️ Responsible Consumption and Production - Pangolin: Journey to Freedom is at the heart of how we want to produce and on a project like Pangolin - Journey to Freedom, we did so by reducing travel, recycling as much production material as possible, using reusable containers for water and food, using solar energy, and a whole lot more! The team was supporting the green idea in every step of production.

🌿 Climate Action - Our New World follows 5 researchers across the world working in their local environments to protect habitats and wildlife from harm. Saving Wombats from wildfires in Australia, providing water to Elephants in drought-ridden Kenya, watching glaciers recede into history.

🐡 Life Under Water – Watson or aka Paul Watson is a real world superhero for our oceans. The founder of Sea Shepard, he has spent his life defending the ocean’s life from industrial farming and violations of international law and keeps on going to fight for his mission.

🐘 Life On Land: Katavi - Africa’s Fallen Paradise shows Southern Tanzania, home to thousands of species, but when an extreme weather crisis strikes, the very foundations of animal life are shaken. In this project, we show how iconic species known across the world are under threat (adapting to the new challenges) unless we make significant change.

🤝 Partnerships for the Goals - Mara: Rebirth shows one of the most diverse and important savannah ecosystems on the planet, and for our project, instead of just tracking our emissions to offset, we made a commitment to support the Great Plains Foundation, founded by the project’s directors. The Foundation not only trains rangers to protect wilderness, but actively rewilds the land, reintroducing key flora and fauna species.
