Escape from Extinction: Rewilding

American Humane’s second documentary, Escape from Extinction: Rewilding, delves into a proven method for sustainable conservation that has the potential to bring back hundreds of thousands of species from the brink of extinction — rewilding.

Narrated by Academy Award winner Meryl Streep, the film follows tireless conservation efforts of leading organizations implementing rewilding practices across a diverse array of species in equally diverse environments, from Rwandan forests to the Pacific Coast of North America.

Through compelling storytelling and breathtaking cinematography, the documentary showcases the tangible successes and ongoing challenges in the field of rewilding. It highlights how humanity, when armed with knowledge and compassion, can halt the decline of countless animal species and restore the environments we call home.
