The Story
Pragmatic people prevent poaching daily.
The photo below is one such man. His name is Alberto, he is Mozambican and spends his days and nights in the forests pursuing and capturing poachers. He is an earnest and dedicated man and is one of the main characters in our film.
The team for “Anti-Poaching: Coastal Mozambique” arrived at the point of making this documentary for one reason, we each care deeply about saving wildlife. Our team has a combined 60 years of experince in telling the stories of wildlife and the people that protect their habitat.
Our goal is to share with the world what is working for two reasons. The first is to inform those with the resources to contribute to Anti-Poaching Units. There are programs that work. This is one of them. The second is to share and celebrate these effective tactics and strategies so they spread.
This common concern for wildlife drives us all to search for solutions to the problems wild animals around the world face. The problem of poaching effects animals everywhere they coexist with humans. Having found a collection of solutions developed by Zambeze Delta Safaris Anti-Poaching Unit, we are excited to share them with the rest of the world.

Fine Edit
Costs $2,500
We finished the rough edit. Now we hand it off to to the expert, Michael Chariker, for the fine edit. We've relied on him for years.
Sound Design
Costs $500
Running and gunning in the field is the only way to get this type of action. But, it makes for lots of work fixing the audio when we return.
Music Licensing
Costs $500
To have this film reach a wide audience, the music needs to be compelling.
Graphics Package
Costs $2,000
Graphics in this documentary will be used to communicate facts quickly.
Color Correction
Costs $1,000
Changing filters and positioning players is often impossible when chasing poachers under equatorial sun. Help us make our images their best.
Studio Time for Voice Over
Costs $200
Conrad Evarts will voice the show for free, but the studio will cost.
Lawyer to Copyright Title
Costs $1,500
Until now, we've been entirely focused on completing the film. Now it is time to handle details.
