The age of watching is over.

Wildlife populations have declined by 73% in the past 50 years — and by 95% in Latin America. We are losing up to 150 species every day. There are more tigers in captivity than in the wild.

Aldo Kane, former Royal Marine Sniper turned conservation filmmaker, ventures where few dare to follow in the new Apple TV+ documentary series The Wild Ones. Together with Declan Burley and Vianet Djenguet, he searches for the world’s most endangered species in remote jungles, scorching deserts, and high mountains — often in war zones and minefields.

From tracking the rarest Gobi bear in Mongolia to capturing the elusive leopard in Armenia’s minefields, their work is not just about filming — it’s about changing the fate of species. The Wild Ones gather irrefutable evidence and deliver it directly to policymakers, the UN, conservation leaders, and governments who can create protected zones, deploy military patrols, and enforce anti-poaching laws.

In this 60-minute conversation, Aldo shares how wildlife storytelling is evolving into direct conservation action — where everyone can make a difference — and why the future of our planet depends on it.
