The Forgotten Migration - A story about the Tarangire Wildebeest Migration

The world is in the midst of a climate crisis that is made worse by a biodiversity crisis. Wild Nature Institute programs address these two crises at the same time through science, education, and actions. Protecting Wild Nature and Biodiversity is our best defense against the climate crisis. Our scientists conduct original field research, analyze existing available data, and synthesize primary scientific literature to inform education and actions that protect wild nature. Our main projects include Masai giraffe research and protection in Tanzania, saving the Tarangire wildebeest migration, native forest protection, and environmental education to teach children and adults the value of protecting wild nature. We support the Nature Needs Half movement, the Half Earth project, the Green New Deal, Extinction Rebellion, Climate Strike for Action, and other similar movements to protect our planetary life-support system. We disseminate our results in reports and peer-reviewed publications, presentations at scientific and management conferences, articles and editorials in the media, meetings with decision-makers, comments on land-management plans, and other innovative outlets such as the videos on this website.
