Living Wild & Filming Wild: A brief introduction
Category: background information | Date: Mar 19 2008 | By: admin
Welcome to ‘Filming Wild’, the new blog featuring the work of The African Environmental Film Foundation (AEFF). My name is Tanya Trevor Saunders, and I work as AEFF’s Director of Strategy. AEFF makes educational films about environmental and conservation issues, for the people of Africa, in their own languages, for free distribution across the continent.
I am not entirely new to the world of wildlife blogging, as since October 2007, I have been documenting the wildlife dramas occurring daily around my home and office, which lie in a beautiful wilderness area of Kenya, bordering the mighty Tsavo National Park. You can catch up with all my previous stories and photographs here. I have also been keeping people updated on AEFF news on our website here.
From now on, while also keeping both these blogs going, I shall be combining the two in this brand new Filming Wild photo-journal, so this will become a record of AEFF’s work as well as of the wildlife with whom we share our home, and the particular challenges faced day to day in a life far from the modern trappings of urban convenience [and inconvenience!]
Here at AEFF, we are all excited to be a part of this important and vibrant hub supporting conservation initiatives across the African continent, and indeed further afield, and I look forward to telling you more about our work and our life in the bush. Thank you for having us!

Hey Tanya,
Welcome to the wildlifedirect blog space! Great to have you. We have so much to learn. I am particularly excited as this an area geographically and professionally that I have always been very interested in…

Thanks for the welcome, Dipesh. I think this blogging platform serves many vital purposes - not least of all information sharing amongst diverse organizations all working towards similar goals, alongside raising the profile of all these projects around the world. It’s such a great concept and we’re delighted to be a part of it.
