Sea Change Project’s latest short film Mother Nature in the Boardroom, narrated by Craig Foster and featuring Dr Jane Goodall, has an urgent message for decision makers: provide a seat at your boardroom table for Mother Nature. Include her voice in every choice you make. Listen to her warnings and wisdom and join the drive to give her the best chance possible by prioritising biodiversity – the thing upon which all life depends.
“Storytelling for Nature Protection”, an introduction to Sea Change Project by its founders.
Sea Change Project is a nonprofit environmental storytelling organisation, founded by Craig Foster and Ross Frylinck in 2012. We are a team of media and science professionals who are dedicated to the wild and specifically the Great African Seaforest. Our work includes films, books, exhibitions, education, and marine biology research.
Inspired by nature, informed by science and guided by indigenous wisdom. We aim to build a deeper connection between humans and the natural world by telling stories, through the use of world-class media, that generate a deep desire in people across the world to engage with, conserve and protect nature.
Our Oscar and Bafta winning film My Octopus Teacher has championed a global movement of emotional ecology.
Our work is based on our connection to the Great African Seaforest. We set out to make the kelp forests of Southern Africa a global icon by giving them a collective identity: the Great African Seaforest. We carefully embedded this brand in all our media work and in 2021 it was named a New World Wonder. This newfound iconic status will help ensure its long-term protection.
The Great African Seaforest is a deep source of inspiration for our minds, hearts and souls. By sharing these experiences with the world, we hope to inspire a global movement of nature connection and more stories about the intrinsic relationship between humans and the living planet.
