eARTh Agency is a non-profit ecological storytelling organization dedicated to reconnecting humanity with nature through art, storytelling, and film.
Founded by internationally acclaimed filmmakers, artists, and conservationists, we bridge the gap between humans and the natural world by creating cinematic, high-quality films and public urban art projects that inspire curiosity, connection, and action.
In a world overwhelmed by environmental crises and divisive narratives, eARTh Agency believes in the “Radical Middle”—a space that challenges polarized thinking and celebrates the interconnectedness of all life. We collaborate with world-renowned artists, grassroots conservation organizations, and visionary advisors to craft stories that not only highlight pressing conservation issues but also ignite a sense of wonder and reverence for the Earth.
Our projects are designed to amplify the voices of conservation heroes, provide much-needed communication tools for NGOs, and engage global audiences through beauty and curiosity. By pairing artists with conservationists, we create legacy artworks and films that inspire behavioural change, foster spiritual ecology, and celebrate the kinship between humans and the more-than-human world.
Join us in this visionary approach to conservation. Together, we can reimagine our relationship with the Earth and inspire a new era of ecological storytelling.

African Penguin Conservation
Saving the African Penguin from Extinction
Status: Critical—fewer than 10,000 breeding pairs remain
The African Penguin population has plummeted by 97%. Without immediate intervention, the species could be extinct in the wild by 2035. eARTh Agency is collaborating with world-renowned artist Daniel Popper to create a monumental public artwork and a documentary film that will raise awareness, inspire action, and mobilize conservation efforts to protect these iconic birds.
African Vultures
Protecting Africa’s Scavengers
Status: Urgent—facing rapid decline due to poisoning and habitat loss
African vultures are in rapid decline due to poisoning, habitat destruction, and illegal wildlife trade. These essential scavengers play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance, yet their populations are vanishing at an alarming rate. eARTh Agency is collaborating with internationally renowned artists Faith47 (South Africa) and Isaac Nabwana (Uganda) to create a large-scale public artwork and a powerful documentary film. This project aims to shed light on the urgent threats facing vultures, celebrate their ecological importance, and mobilize action to protect them before it’s too late.
Fynbos Fish Revival
Restoring Freshwater Ecosystems in the Western Cape
Status: High Priority—freshwater fish species facing extinction
South Africa’s indigenous freshwater fish species are critically endangered due to habitat destruction, invasive species, and climate change. Many of these species, endemic to the fynbos biome, are now on the brink of extinction. To bring awareness to this crisis and inspire action, eARTh Agency is collaborating with the groundbreaking artist Public Shows of Reflection. Known for large-scale immersive installations that bring the wonder and awe of wilderness into cityscapes, this project will use light-reflective sculptures and custom geo-tagged soundscapes to create a mesmerizing, interactive experience.
By blending art, ecology, and technology, this project will reimagine how people connect with freshwater ecosystems—turning urban environments into portals of discovery and appreciation for these forgotten species.
