Today is World Wildlife Day. This year's theme is Recovering Key Species for Ecosystem Restoration.

These titles from the Bullfrog Films catalog explore this theme from several angles, documenting the intrinsic role that some wildlife species play in maintaining vibrant and functional ecosystems and highlighting the work that scientists, policymakers and activists are doing to preserve and protect them.

These films are available on DVD with public performance rights for school and library purchase or rental. Academic streaming can be licensed from Docuseek. Campus and community groups interested in hosting a community screening can book now through Bullfrog Communities.
With the help of thoughtful and passionate scientists who have come to understand and love them, Nature's Cleanup Crew investigates what makes scavengers tick and how they've adapted to playing integral role they play in urban ecosystems around the world.
Entangled chronicles the efforts to protect North Atlantic right whales from extinction, the impacts of those efforts on the lobster industry, and how the National Marine Fisheries Service has struggled to balance the vying interests.
Part hermit, part biologist, Doug Stewart and Stan Hutchings are among the last of the "Guardians." Living on boats full-time in one of the last pristine frontiers of the world, they carefully monitor salmon populations—the backbone of the ecosystem, economy, and culture along British Columbia's coast—for Canada's Dept. of Fisheries & Oceans. But in an age of science censorship and soaring natural resource development, Guardians and the wildlife they have dedicated their lives to protecting are now disappearing.
Produced by filmmakers Andy Laub, Steve Liss and Pulitzer Prize-winning environmental reporter David Abel, Sacred Cod chronicles the collapse of historic cod populations in New England and delves into the effects of overfishing, climate change and government policies on the region's vital fisheries—and the fish that sustain them.
All films are available on DVD with public performance rights for school and library purchase or rental. Academic streaming can be licensed from Docuseek. Campus and community groups interested in hosting a community screening can book now through Bullfrog Communities.
