UNTRANSLATABLE NATURE WORDS 🌱 Gökotta (Swedish): To rise early in the morning to experience the stillness and appreciate the beauty of nature outside, particularly to hear the first birds sing. #UntranslatableNatureWords #EarthTones #Nature #Gokotta #Swedish

Earth Tones started out with two sisters who believe we need many diverse voices to truly protect our planet. 🌍 👯‍♀️ We recruit and amplify experts from all groups, particularly those who are, in some way, marginalized. What's your story? Let’s tell it! #EarthTones #Environment

We’ve run into some beautiful wildlife on recent shoots in locations around the 🌎. 🦌🕷️🐿️🦅 #EarthTones #WildLife #OnLocation #Animals

🎥 Come behind the scenes with our crew while they’re on location for our documentary ‘Lion Bridge’. #LionBridge #EarthTones #BTS #BehindTheScenes

This is a reminder that Indigenous history predates European colonization of the land we now call Canada. #EarthTones #Decolonize #InSolidarity #CanadaDay

To celebrate #NationalCougarDay we’re sharing behind-the-scenes of our @earthtoneslab 🎥 🎬 shoot with the @oaklandzoo and their mountain lion program, which rescues orphaned cougar kittens (usually their moms got hit by cars) - production on this story is currently underway!

Our LA #EarthTones production team flew to film in Sacramento and fell in love with the city! 1. Walking through downtown Sacramento’s many gardens 2. Production meeting at a local hot spot 3. Stopped to see the CA State Capitol building 4. Incredible views from our hotel

It’s World Bee Day 🐝 and The Herban Bee is making a buzz in the world of beekeeping! They provide urban beekeeping education through a community apiary, visit schools to expose urban youth to beekeeping, and rescue misplaced swarms in their neighborhoods. 🎥: The Herban Bee

Can you tell we’re having fun while filming!? 🎥 🎬 It’s always a good time when you’re surrounded by wildlife heroes! #onset #behindthescenes #OnLocation #AgouraHills #DocumentaryFilmMaking

A beautiful day filming in 🎥 ⭐️ Hollywood as we follow @NHMLA biologist Miguel Ordenana to check bat microphones. Yes, you heard us right, or should we use echolocation to be more clear? 😉 🦇 🎙️🎶 - Stay Tuned for more on this story! #LakeHollywood #UrbanWildlifeResearch

🌏 As part of our mission to amplify underrepresented environmental perspectives, ‘Untranslatable Nature Words’ is a new Earth Tones series spotlighting words that capture unique cultural and environmental experiences that may not have direct equivalents in other languages.

Our #film crew met up with @SantaMonicaMtns NPS biologists to document the coldest spot in the hills-a freezer full of dead wildlife! 🥶 NPS keeps roadkill for research. More on this story soon. In the meantime, slow down while driving - let’s try and keep this freezer empty!

This Earth Day we’ve decided to start a new series called ‘Untranslatable Nature Words’ in line with Earth Tones’ mission to amplify underrepresented environmental perspectives. #EarthDay #EarthTones

UNTRANSLATABLE NATURE WORDS Upepo (Swahili) : translates to "wind," it carries a broader cultural significance, representing the flow of life and natural rhythms How do you say wind in your language?

Construction Milestone 🚧 Our Lion Bridge Documentary Film Crew spent the night on L.A.’s 101 freeway at the site of the Annenberg Wildlife Crossing to witness (and celebrate!) the first horizontal bridge span element (called a box girder) being lifted into place.

Turns out, watching concrete dry is ACTUALLY pretty exciting to watch when the concrete is for building the world’s biggest wildlife crossing. Shout out to all the workers on this project, and also to our production crew who braved the elements to capture this incredible story.
