WEO is not only Australia’s first major film festival focused on wildlife conservation, but also the United Nation’s endorsed global environmental and wildlife film festival, advancing sustainable development through the power of storytelling. By using the medium of film, WEO helps recover species at risk of extinction, driving policy reform, supporting biodiversity conservation, and enabling large-scale climate action for wildlife.

��First Nations knowledge and wisdom are central to the WEO’s values, forming the foundation for cultural understanding and environmental stewardship. WEO aims to showcase the beauty of wildlife and nature while facilitating solutions to these global environmental challenges.

This year marks a pivotal moment for ocean recovery, with the upcoming United Nation Ocean conference scheduled for early June. The conference theme is “Accelerating action and mobilising all actors to conserve and sustainably use the ocean”.

Sir David’s new film OCEAN celebrates the ocean’s beauty and its deep connection to his life work. Featuring breathtaking cinematography, the film explores why a healthy ocean is vital to planetary stability. It also presents powerful, never-seen-before footage revealing the harsh realities and challenges of our ocean, from destructive fishing to mass coral reef bleaching.�� Sir David Attenborough’s message is clear: the ocean can recover to a glory beyond anything anyone alive has ever seen.
