- Television networks like Discovery, Animal Planet, National Geographic, and the History Channel are failing to put conservation, education, and animal welfare ahead of ratings and profits when producing and airing films on wildlife. I believe it's time for wildlife filmmaking to move in a more ethical direction. Wildlife films should not deceive audiences, harass animals, or avoid conservation.
Video Supervisor: Ford Fischer
Filmed by Arun Raman, Delana Listman, and Elaina Kimes
Edited by Elaina Kimes and Ford Fischer
Recorded in The Harold and Sylvia Greenberg Theatre at American University, Washington, DC
Chris Palmer has spearheaded the production of more than 300 hours of original programming for prime-time television and the giant screen IMAX industry, including the Disney Channel, TBS, Animal Planet, Travel Channel, and PBS. Palmer and his colleagues have won numerous awards, including two Emmys, and an Oscar nomination. He founded the Center for Environmental Filmmaking at American University in 2005, a year after joining AU’s full-time faculty as Distinguished Film Producer in Residence. His book Shooting in the Wild has been made into a film for public television, and his new memoir, Confessions of a Wildlife Filmmaker, has just been published.

You have changed the way I watch and do wildlife films. My wish is that thanks to your books and this TED conference, every single Producer, Broadcaster, Presenter, Director, Camera Operator and Editor will behave ethically. It is our responsibility as communicators. We can not make the money shot a priority in our films.
I had the great pleasure of listening to you speak and meet you many years ago at the International Wildlife Film Festival in Missoula. I was very moved then as I am even more so today. I applaud your efforts and courage to speak out and point to a more ethical direction in wildlife filmmaking. Kind Regards! #newwayforward ***** #newday #filmmaker
Wow im just want to start filming wildlife for independent documentary, and this will be a great path to follow, thank you so much!
It is good to see people awakening and able to confront the truth no matter the effect that truth will have on themselves. 🙏🏼
Ethics need to drive every industry than this will not be the problem, almost every industry is the same, in all other industries humans do similar treatment to other humans knowingly except in your talk it is done to other beings. Anyhow, Here is effective quote to help implement it rather easily: "Whatever you do, just check - is it for the wellbeing of others, or is it about you? If it is about you, you shouldn’t do it." ~Sadhguru
Just bought the book of his! Keeps on the right track, no dead lemmings here -.-
So few views and comments... strongly surprising
Thank you sir for your real views.
Can i translate this video to portuguese? This talk is so much important.
Big respect
it's ok its not real it tells the accurate depiction of events. I do not have a problem with this so much.
Like any film really. I shot a nativity, not long ago, and had to totally mess with the timings, pull the sound out of sync. Now them confused little children, riddled with stage fright, who only just learned how to talk, look like talented little actors.
Can’t help but wonder why the entire country of Canada is missing from the hexagon map behind him, good Ted talk though.
It sounds like you are describing the news media in this country.
Based
Wow my life just changed... now what.
All these years i got cheated
The anthropomorphism that pervades this industry has made it unwatchable
