Community for the Wild

Community for the Wild is a short documentary that follows a community of researchers and volunteers in British Columbia, Canada, who are working on the largest collaborative wildlife research project in BC's history - the Southern Interior Mule Deer Project. This research project has brought them together across vast landscapes guided by their common love of wildlife to support habitat conservation and wildlife management to try and assess why mule deer numbers are in steep decline and ultimately to come up with management recommendations to help improve their numbers. The film combines socio-political, cultural, ethical, and traditional perspectives while exposing some pressing issues that face the habitat and wildlife we as Canadians love so much. Ultimately, it is a story about a community working to build a better BC, to protect and preserve British Columbia's wildlife and wild places.
