Huge congratulations to Wildstar Films for taking home the Limited Series Award at Jackson Wild for Underdogs.

It is great to see this series rewarded for a different approach to wildlife documentaries, concentrating on the misfits, having lots of humour and amazing filming techniques.

The proboscis monkey sequence was hilarious and it was a huge honour for us (Scubazoo) to be the fixers here in Borneo to help create that - having a great team that know all the best spots was critical, Franco Duing and Osman.

It was also a pleasure for our CEO, Jason Isley to assist Roger Munns in filming the hairy frogfish sequence in Lembeh - the storytelling was fantastic. More great colleagues Joe Faithfull & Steve & Miranda (Dive into Lembeh).

Happy National Wildlife Day!

Today, we celebrate the incredible diversity of life on our planet and reflect on our shared responsibility to protect it. It’s a day to appreciate the wild wonders that surround us, from the mighty whales in the ocean depths to the tiniest insects in our backyards.

While we celebrate, let's also shine a light on one of the world's most unique and vulnerable creatures: the pangolin. Often called the "scaly anteater," these shy, solitary mammals are a crucial part of their ecosystems, yet they are the most illegally trafficked mammals in the world. Their scales, made of keratin just like our fingernails, are highly sought after in illegal wildlife trade. The plight of the pangolin is a powerful reminder of the threats that so many species face from habitat loss and human activity.

This National Wildlife Day, let's commit to making a difference. Educate yourself about endangered species, support organizations dedicated to conservation, and make conscious choices to reduce your impact on the environment. Every action, no matter how small, helps protect our planet's precious wildlife for generations to come.
