A (three-handed) western Chimpanzee sits in a tree on the banks of the Gambia river (Still grabbed from our Red + 150-600mm @tamronnederland + @leofoto.eu tripod) Critically endangered, the Western chimpanzees are already extinct in numerous West African countries including in the wild in the Gambia. Every newborn is hope for the future and a step further from their extinction!

Sri Lankan elephants enjoying a morning bath in Yala National Park. (Still grabbed from our Red + 150-600mm @tamronnederland ) We have been a bit away from social media and that for us always means that we have been hiding ourselves behind cameras. Since the world opened its doors again, we couldn't miss out on travelling to places that we always wanted to go to. In Sri Lanka was where we met the most exotic animals and genuine people. While we were there, we always felt welcome, safe and happy to contribute to their local economy and business. During our stay, we experienced the country change from a stable one to one in turmoil but we were never under risk or felt threatened. Soon we will release a teaser of some of our results. Until then, if any wildlife footage from Sri Lanka is needed, please send us message or look into our stock libraries online. . . . #atelesfilms #srilanka #yalanationalpark #transcontinenta #tamron #leofoto #wildlife #wild #elephant #babyelephant #shotonred #womenbehindthecamera #redcamera #redcamerausers #tamron150600mm

World Wildlife Day will be celebrated in 2022 under the theme “Recovering Key Species for Ecosystem Restoration”. The celebrations will seek to draw attention to the conservation status of some of the most critically endangered species of wild fauna and flora, and to drive discussions towards imagining and implementing solutions to conserve them. Jackson Wild, the Secretariat of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) just announced the finalists of the 2022 World Wildlife Day Film Showcase: Recovering Species. For this showcase, Michael Sanderson contributed as a Judge for the category “Stories of Hope: Long Form” and Ana Luisa Santos contributed as a Judge for the category “Species in Crisis: Long Form”. It was an enormous pleasure for us to contribute for this showcase and to watch all the incredible productions from around the globe! Congratulations! The winners will be announced during the World Wildlife Day celebration on March 3, 2022.

Blending in to be invisible. Feels great to match with nature's colours and now, the yellow colours of the winter are gone and the fresh green has arrived, we can hide even better. The wild animals just can't see us, or even smell us. We wish everyone could see the intimacy we witness by not disturbing their daily routines. We have also noticed with the Corona crisis that more nature lovers have been born and appear in all corners of nature. We hope that all this new passion and care remains long after the crisis is over. . . . #atelesfilms #wildlifefilm #wildlifefilmmaking #wildlife #nature #outdoors #adventure #exploration #analuisasantos #michaelsanderson #shotonred #reddigitalcinema #shotonred #redepicw8k #coronacrisis #newnaturelovers #doorstepnature #camo #camouflage #ghilliesuit #instagood #coronanature #corona #covid #covidnature #safedistance #lockdown #covidwalk #mentalhealth #springwillcome

Jackals of the Americas...two gorgeous coyotes wandering around Yellowstone National Park. Pointy ears and narrow snouts distinguish them from wolves.

Romania in winter is fun... but a shoot in summer gave us a rare opportunity to film bears and wolves in a remote area of the Carpathian mountains. In our short time there we identified 8 individual bears, 2 wolves and a cameo by a fantastic fox. Our sightings were unusually good for such timid wild animals. This is a rare place in an overdeveloped and depleted Europe. Hopefully in the future more places will have this diversity of large carnivores. We believe it's possible. . . . #atelesfilms #wildlifefilm #wildlifefilmmaking #wildlife #nature # #adventure #exploration #analuisasantos #michaelsanderson #shotonred #reddigitalcinema #carpathians #bears #wolves #largecarnivores #mountains #fox #longlens #europe #rewilding #nature #forest #womanbehindthecamera #throughhereyes #camouflage #naturefilm #naturfilm #natuurfilm #natuurfilmster #wolf #bear

An adolescent Barbary macaque peers over the frozen Atlas cedar branches straight into our lens. Little did he know he was making himself famous. At least amongst humans. For young males to make themselves famous in macaque society, they will start to steal babies to practice a great behaviour called infant buffering. A process that enables the Barbary macaques to lower tensions amongst males to avoid conflict. In harsh winters this could be a trait that keeps them alive. . . . #atelesfilms #barbarymacaques #barbary #morocco #middleatlas #snow #frozen #macacasylvanus #berberaap #magot #forcedulien #paternalbond #shotonred #redepic #reddigitalcinema #5k #atlasmountains #berber #africa #africansnow #snowpropriate #atlascedar #cedar #forests #deforestation #illegalpettrade #snowmonkeys #explore #behaviour #wildlifefilmmaking

Snowy paths....or roads in this case. The road has disappeared under the African snow... Only a few early birds' tyre tracks show us the way. The Atlas cedars in Morocco's middle atlas are about to reveal their most charismatic inhabitants. This was DAY 1 of filming for The Paternal Bond, a 59min behavioural wildlife film about the Barbary macaques' paternal instincts in these cedar forests. Filmed through the seasons for NHK. One important note... on day 2 the snow was gone and never came back for more than a year or more.

Monte Perdido (Lost Mountain). Third highest mountain in the Pyrenees (3355 metres). It was the stunning backdrop of our Lammergeyer film for NHK.

Today @wildscreenorg posted this nice thank you about the participation of @analuisaantos from @atelesfilms as Preselector! Read it to find out more about Ana and don't forget to follow @wildscreenorg! #Repost @wildscreenorg • • • • • • We're saying a big thank you to all our Official Selection Preselectors. First we would like to thank Ana Luísa!⁠ ⁠ Ana Luísa educated as an engineer, always has had an eye and interest for photography and filmmaking. Over the years, Ana studied, worked and volunteered in countries such as Turkey, China, Spain as well as Portugal, which is where she was born and raised. Settling in The Netherlands, Ana put on hold her career and dedicated herself to the wildlife and natural history filmmaking industry. ⁠ ⁠ She aided the establishment of Ateles Films as an independent film production company. Spending considerable time in the field, her work also covers all other stages of production from concept to delivery. Lammergeiers, barbary macaques, spider monkeys and foxes amongst others, feature in her own Ateles Films productions or for channels such as NHK, France Televisions, BBC or Nat Geo Wild. ⁠ ⁠ Every project is a lesson, but also an opportunity to share the importance of the wildlife around or far away from us. Her mission is to tell stories about real animals with wild behavior.⁠ ⁠ #naturalhistoryfilmmaking #analuisa #analuisasantos #atelesfilms #independentproduction #indieprodco #barbarymacaques #europeanfilm #officialselection⁠

Last week on 3rd of March 2020, Ateles Films attended the World Wildlife Day Biodiversity Film Showcase at the United Nations Headquarters in New York to receive honourable mention award for their short film "Spider Monkey For Sale". The #WWD2020 was an amazing event with inspiring people that have been essential in communicating and raising awareness for the importance of wildlife and the environment. The events of Day also included the screening of the movie "Wild Karnata" directed by Amoghavarska and music by Ricky Kej; the premiere of the "Jane Goodall The Hope" from @National Geographic that will be aired in April; and a session about the impact of the Global warming and the efforts to save the Australian Wildlife. Good talk about an important topic. This day was an incredible experience for us and we are grateful to be part of it. It was also a good surprise to see our dear friends that are also inspiring our tv with amazing natural history documentaries. The cherry on top was to see the Empire State Building and Times Squares decorated as ambassadors for the cause with posters and special lighting shows. Thanks to all the great organisers: Jackson Wild, CITES, United Nations Development Programme - UNDP, UN Environment Programme, Convention on Biological Diversity See an impression of the day in the pictures! #WWD2020 #WorldWildlifeDay #UnitedNations #UNDP #CITES #UNEP #Sustainingalllifeonearth #Spidermonkey #analuisasantos #michaelsanderson #atelesfilms

Winter can be a beautiful setting for us with cameras and warm places to stay but for the wild animals it is a deadly serious season. Less food and freezing temperatures can spell disaster. Always think about this when approaching wild animals in winter. They are on the edge already. Approach with care or not at all.
