GWF-WTI Film Screenings

Whale Shark Homecoming (2024/ English & Gujarati with English subtitles/17 mins). Whale sharks were once indiscriminately slaughtered along the shores of Gujarat. Twenty years ago, Wildlife Trust of India (WTI) launched a campaign to spread awareness about the species and its protected status. The campaign has helped convert the local fisher community into staunch protectors, with over 750 whale sharks rescued and freed by fishermen since 2004. Way of the Elephants (2024/ English & Malayalam with English subtitles, 15 mins). Elephant migration corridors are vital thoroughfares for India's elephants, which are nomadic by nature. When persistent conflicts with human residents along one such corridor in Kerala caught WTI's attention, the solution became a massive undertaking: the relocation of an entire village. Members of the WTI team will be present for a Q&A session after the screening. Collab: Global Wildlife Fair, Wildlife Trust of India, Felis Creations, Red Rock Films and Nature on PBS.
