African Conservation Voices Media Labs
African Conservation Voices Media Labs are a partnership between the African Wildlife Foundation and Jackson Wild, designed to provide mentorship and skill-building to early career African conservation filmmakers. Each media lab includes virtual sessions and hands-on, field-based shoots and results in small teams producing a short film. Six films produced in 2022 premiered in Austria at the Jackson Wild Summit, September 26-30, where our fellows spoke about their experiences.
