Non-Broadcast, Micro-Movie Esri African Parks takes on the complete responsibility for rehabilitation and long-term management of 15 national parks on the continent, in partnership with governments and local communities. The non-profit conservation organization works to conserve Africa’s wildlife and remaining wild areas, secure vast landscapes and carry out the necessary activities needed to protect the parks and their wildlife for the benefit of people. Through the help of GIS, the team can analyze and understand wildlife movements and various threats to predict where poachers may strike next. This use of GIS for conservation intelligence gives park rangers the additional tools they need to go beyond analysis of the past – dynamically-assessing the present and transforming data for management to make decisions that realign conservation with its intended outcomes, ensuring that each park is ecologically, socially, and financially sustainable in the long-term.

Micro-Movie Wild Agency, Salmon State Breathe! At 17 million acres, the Tongass is not only America’s largest national forest, it’s the largest intact temperate rainforest in the world. It stores and absorbs vast amounts more carbon than any other forest in the United States. Over the protests of Alaskans, Americans, and sovereign indigenous governments, the Trump Administration plans to strip protections for more than 9 million acres of the forest — in order to open the land up for roads, clearcut old growth logging, and industrialization. This would plunge our world further into a climate emergency.

Micro-Movie Day's Edge Productions for HHMI BioInteractive Normally, more than 90% of female African elephants have tusks. But in places that have a history of poaching and trophy hunting, like in Gorongosa National Park, tuskless females are surprisingly common. To better understand how the tuskless trait is evolving under selection from poaching, we wanted to find out which genes are responsible for tusk development. But elephants have thousands of genes? So how can we find the right ones?
