WildEarth has landed in India through online streaming app Jio TV. WildEarth’s mission is to make viewers feel present in nature by delivering a live and interactive channel where viewers can embark on remote safaris across Africa for 12 hours a day, 365 days a year which will now be available on the JioTV app.

Namibia’s first live stream camera showcasing wildlife at the Okaukuejo waterhole in Etosha National Park, a national park in northwestern of the country, received a boost following a partnership with WildEarth, a 24/7 live television channel, an executive announced Wednesday…

WildEarth, founded by Emily and Graham Wallington, has a global audience of five million viewers a month. Johannesburg-born Wallington, who describes himself as from the ocean, has taken the concept of nature tech to a new level, providing a connection with nature that many people not as lucky as South Africans can now access. The channel was a tonic for many viewers during the Covid-19 lockdowns and they have not tuned out since. Wallington told BizNews he and his team are continuing to scale; there will soon be an improved app, new content and an expansion into marine life.

Natural history-focused FAST channel WildEarth TV has launched on Plex, the AVoD and live-streaming service, and Rad NFTV, which claims to be the first streamer powered by non-fungible tokens.

WildEarth TV offers wildlife content 24/7, featuring eight hours of live programming a day, including twice-daily live safaris direct from locations including South Africa’s Djuma Game Reserve. Other live experiences include broadcasts studying the African penguin colonies on the Cape Coast and the wildebeest migrations in Kenya’s Maasai Mara reserve.

Tlalamba, a four-year-old leopard, has achieved much in her short life. She’s queen of her mother’s old territory, borne two cubs and, so far, is the most sought-after animal on her reserve among buyers of a new project selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to raise money for conservation.

In a bid to help protect endangered animals, British TV channel, WildEarth, has launched its own NFTs. Crucially, 40% of the primary sale proceeds go to local custodians of the land on which the animals live. In an exclusive interview with Finextra, Graham Wallington, co-founder, CEO, WildEarth, explained the philosophy behind this approach: nature can look after itself – it just needs a home. The real mission is to ensure local populations have an economic incentive to not poach.

One of the world’s largest broadcasters of Livestream animal and nature experiences, WildEarth, has launched an NFT collection that enables viewers and nature enthusiasts to support conservation efforts.

It’s always uplifting to see cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) being tied into real-world projects that have a positive impact – speculative investments can only do so much. Practical use cases are as concrete as they get. Protecting animals and protecting the environment is perhaps the most real of all.

The WildEarth crew are veterans when it comes to bringing unbelievable live wildlife experiences to audiences around the world. Their popular interactive show, safariLIVE, has kept viewers glued to their seats for years, with virtual safari-goers tuning in daily to follow the lives of their favourite leopard, lion or elephant characters.

For the first time, viewers will be transported from their living rooms right to the heart of the action. SafariLive brings viewers face to face with the thrill of Africa’s wild animals in real time in a brand new weekly show premiering on SABC 3 from October 21.

For our ongoing TODAY in the Wild series, NBC’s Keir Simmons and National Geographic filmmakers have been tracking the big cats of Africa, and how humans and climate change impact their world. Keir and team traveled to Maasai Mara, a reserve in Kenya, to meet a young group using their “safariLIVE” web show to educate Americans.

It looked as if a football coach had drawn his team’s next play, wild and scribbled in red marker, on the white sheet of paper in my hand. Huge circles lined the top of the page, with arrows going down and across to smaller and smaller circles on the bottom. This wasn’t a football diagram, and the sheet wasn’t given to me by a coach — but rather by a doctor in Midtown Manhattan, who, I was shocked to learn, was making a diagram for what to do if I got diarrhea on my trip to Kenya’s Maasai Mara game reserve… what to do if I got explosive diarrhea… and most importantly, how to tell if that diarrhea meant I had malaria.

Nat Geo WILD is set to kick off its weeklong Safari Live programming Sunday, Feb. 4 at 10 p.m.

Viewers will have the chance to experience the tranquil beauties and thrilling dangers of an African safari throughout the week. Cameras will head Kenya’s Maasai Mara and South Africa’s Sabi Sands Game Reserve, no doubt finding plenty of lions, elephants, rhinoceroses, leopards, baboons, giraffes and buffalo…

Dramatic footage shows a zebra escaping the jaws of a crocodile… only to be eaten by two lionesses on the other side!

Footage has emerged of a zebra bravely crossing a treacherous river – only to be eaten by lions on the other side. The video, filmed in Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, shows the animal escaping the jaws of a vicious crocodile during its perilous journey. It makes its way to the riverbank before clambering up into the savanna. But the zebra’s nightmare has only just begun as a lioness hides in the grass waiting to pounce.

A little searching resulted in the discovery of an outfit called WildEarth.tv which among other things operates live, unedited, noncommercial safaris in the huge 7000 sq mi Kruger National Park in northeastern South Africa.

Big Cat Week 2015 has come and gone, hopefully generating more support for wild felid conservation. While I am mostly satisfied with this 6th edition of Big Cat Week, I have one minor gripe. This year’s specials were replete with coolness. Big Cat Games, Ultimate Predator, and Cat Fight did a great job of showing how awesome big cats are. This is important, because highlighting the magnificence of the natural world helps motivate people to protect it (Blackmore, Underhill, McQuilkin, Leach, & Holmes, 2013).

Wildlife television is an important conservation tool. It can be highly educational, expose viewers to diverse ecosystems, and motivate people to care about far away creatures. Of all the natural history programs I am aware of, Wild Safari Live by WildEarth Media is the most powerful. WildEarth is the brainchild of Emily and Graham Wallington. Founded in 2006 (WildEarth Media, 2015), it represents a new chapter in wildlife television. This is because WildEarth (WE) specializes in live broadcasting.

He is an entrepreneur with a very interesting and diverse history, including 24 businesses, 21 of which have taught him many, many lessons that he now uses as he pushes forward with WildEarth.

It’s been over a month since I left the Djuma & Arathusa Game Reserves in Sabi Sands, South Africa. Wild Safari LIVE was an incredible experience for me and reflecting on it over the past month has allowed me to understand how many different people we connected with. All backgrounds, in all different stages of life were on a journey with the African bush through this exciting project. Not a day would go past that I wasn’t  amazed by the questions, support and kindness of children, school groups, avid followers, and ‘newbies’ all ‘riding’ in the back of our Land Rovers.

There is a new online reality program that I am rapidly becoming addicted to. It is not a survivor type program where people try to out others, or people trying to impress someone of the opposite sex leading to a marriage proposal. It is a diving program, called DiveLive. The program takes you to some of the best dive sites in the Grand Cayman islands. And it does it live, twice a day.

Video: More than 1,400 of you tuned in to the Compass Facebook page to watch marine biologists in real time as they explored Cayman’s underwater wonderland.

An innovative new project, streaming live scuba diving tours from the Cayman Islands, launches Saturday.

South African company WildEarth has been testing the idea for the past month and will go live for the first time this weekend.

Just Imagine… sitting in your living room after a long day at the office. Click your mouse a few times and suddenly you’re under water. There are schooling hammerheads above, turtles, fish and bizarre, colourful invertebrates all around…
