GC Hits Major Milestone: 5 Million Youtube Views

War On Nature
Written By Joshua Asel

Global Conservation started its video production journey into short films seven years ago, but the rise in viewership drastically changed within the last two years, starting with the very first introduction of the War On Nature (WON) series featuring internationally renowned photojournalist Paul Hilton.

Paul, who has been featured in National Geographic, BBC, Smithsonian, and much more, has been tackling the illegal wildlife black market stories for decades and brought his signature spin to GC.

Since that introduction, other award-winning photographers and filmmakers have made their entries into the WON series, and the Emmy-nominated series and Webby winner LAST LANDS with Bob Woodruff was created for Disney+, Hulu, and ABC News.

The latest video (below) by Mack Woodruff is what helped GC hit this massive 5 million view milestone!


All of us here at Global Conservation want to THANK YOU for your support and viewership to help us get here! Now, here are some of our most popular and favorite short films. We hope you enjoy!
