Filmed across six countries, it takes viewers into some of the world’s most remote and dangerous locations to follow the rangers risking their lives to protect endangered wildlife.
“Protecting our natural world has become one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet.”

The project began when Prince William’s team approached ZANDLAND to create a global documentary on wildlife rangers — the frontline defenders of our natural world. Working with The Royal Foundation and United for Wildlife, we directed and produced the series from the ground up, filming in six of the most remote and challenging places on Earth to tell the untold stories of rangers risking everything to protect endangered species.
“Rangers are the glue between the human world we live in and the natural world.”

Once complete, we brought on BBC Earth as our distribution partner to ensure the series reached the widest possible audience. The result is a powerful, cinematic series that has resonated globally, with coverage across major media outlets around the world.
