The @netflix documentary Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey brought pangolins to a global audience.Now, the story continues with a short educational impact film, “A Taste for Ants”! Created as a focused follow-up for education initiatives, this film is designed especially for children in communities surrounding the @lapalala_wilderness Reserve and beyond. It builds on the global story by going deeper into place, culture, and traditional African folklore - connecting science, storytelling, and lived experience. We’re incredibly excited to share this film with as many young learners as possible through our education outreach work, led by our Education Officer, Kamo, as well as in collaboration with the @lapalala_wilderness_school . Lasting conservation begins with connection, and connection begins with understanding.. Follow along as we share the journey and the impact of this powerful educational film. Huge appreciation to the dedicated team behind this film: your hard work has helped transform storytelling into a tool for real conservation impact: @the_rewilding , @funnykerk , Tshililo waha Muzila, Swati Foster, @sophfoulkes , @africa_alive , @munyaicaswell , @seachangeproject , Water Creature, @wildarcfilms . We’re also immensely grateful to the @lapalala_wilderness foundation NPC for funding and supporting this project. 📸: @dro_directorofphotography , @africa_alive , @warren_smart

Pippa is known for her Oscar-winning co-direction on My Octopus Teacher — telling stories has always been her passion and calling. She has since co-directed My Mercury and directed Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey, and is currently working on a new feature film and a podcast, called Back To The Water, the first episode of which won Best Independent Nonfiction Podcast at the 2024 Tribeca Festival. This is just one of many awards Pippa has received. Pippa – who in 2025 was recognised as a Wayfinder by the National Geographic Society – is also kept busy with conferences, festivals and speaking events around the world. This week, she delivered a talk at the Xposure International Photography Festival in the United Arab Emirates, where she spoke about kelp forests and the need to protect them and introduced the 1001 Seaforest Species, an exciting science and storytelling project in partnership with Save Our Seas Foundation. She will also be presenting at the National Geographic Storytellers Summit in Los Angeles next week. When she’s not travelling or crafting stories, she spends as much time as possible immersed in the Great African Seaforest — a place that is a constant source of connection and inspiration. 🎬 Click on our bio to watch Pippa’s Xposure presentation. @the_rewilding #seachangeproject #pippaehrlich #myoctopusteacher #storyteller

Our journey with Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey has been recognised with the Best Music Award at the 2025 @wildscreenorg Panda Awards, the highest honour in natural-world storytelling! Directed by the brilliant @pippa.ehrlich , Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey follows the story of Kulu, a rescued pangolin on a powerful path of healing and release back into the wild. It’s a tender and deeply human reflection on our connection to nature, and a reminder of the quiet, sacred work being done to protect the world’s most trafficked mammal. Creating the score alongside @skydladla and @annenikitinmusic was pure joy. This project reminded me that music is a kind of prayer, it speaks when words can’t. We’ve also been nominated for both a @thegriersontrust Award and a @criticschoice Award, and I couldn’t be prouder of this incredible team. The music was recorded at @soundandmotion_studios in Cape Town, South Africa. So much love to everyone who poured their hearts into bringing Kulu’s story to life. You can now watch Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey on @netflix . 💚 #PangolinKulusJourney #Wildscreen2025 #PandaAwards #BestMusic #ZolaniMahola #AnneNikitin #SkyDladla #PippaEhrlich #NatureStorytelling #ForTheWild #SouthAfricanMusic #myoctopusteacher

Huge congratulations to @the_rewilding and the incredible team behind Pangolin: Kulu’s Journey, which has won the @jacksonwildorg award for Conservation Long-Form. The film was a collaborative effort with @lapalala_wilderness @africanpangolinconservation @georgechignell @pangolincrisis and @swatithiyagarajan , who worked tirelessly and with such passion to bring the story to life. Thank you also to @jsgrimshaw and Nick Shumaker. Sound engineer @barry_donnelly_insta did such an amazing job under often challenging circumstances, and the music by @zolanimahola @sky_dladla @annenikitin @alastairmcnamaracomposer @tsbkelly provided beautiful depth to the story. And, of course, the film wouldn’t have existed without @maverick_gareth and Kulu, who was brought to the world’s attention thanks to @africa_alive @funnykerk @anoncontent @netflixfilm and @wildarcfilms It’s our hope that telling Kulu’s story will help give these endangered animals a fighting chance. Thank you @jacksonwildorg for this recognition and for showcasing the amazing work being done all of the nominees. #pangolin #pangolinkulusjourney #seachangeproject #jacksonwild #netflix
