We tell stories that connect people to the wild, motivating them to become part of the regeneration of our planet.
about us
Storytelling for Nature Protection
Sea Change Project is a nonprofit environmental storytelling organisation, founded in 2012. We are a team of media and science professionals who are dedicated to the wild and specifically the Great African Seaforest. Our work includes films, books, exhibitions, education, and marine biology research.
Our Oscar and Bafta winning film My Octopus Teacher has championed a global movement of emotional ecology, bringing attention to the Great African Seaforest and the world’s kelp forests.
Inspired by nature, supported by science and guided by indigenous wisdom, we aim to build a deeper connection between humans and the natural world, with the power of storytelling.
While our roots lie in our connection to the ocean and the conservation of South Africa’s Great African Seaforest, we are passionate about all stories that explore the intrinsic relationship between humans and the living planet and hope to inspire a global movement of nature connection.
Biodiversity is our life-support system, providing us with everything we need to live on Earth. Without it, we are nothing. Protecting nature is the key to our survival, and telling stories from the heart – showing how we are part of this incredible matrix – will help to write new, hope-filled chapters of the story of us.
OUR MESSAGE
Our entire wellbeing is dependent on the natural world. For humans to be healthy, the air, oceans, forests, and all the varied and wonderful beings that we share this planet with need to be healthy.
We aim to reawaken a universal heart connection between humans and the living planet.
Through our search for a deeper connection with the wild, we hope our stories can remind us that we are part of the natural world and motivate action to heal ourselves and the living planet.
