Sealcentre Pieterburen
This film uses personal stories to illustrate the renewed vision of Sealcentre Pieterburen. These stories serve as a stark reminder that, as humans, we are a part of the same vulnerable ecosystem as animals.
Johan’s Water Tale
This is the story of Johan. A human who coexists within our ecosystem – living and working within a Dutch nature reserve. Johan’s story inspires viewers to reconsider our role as humans within Earth’s environment.
Sealcentre Pieterburen
Sealcentre Pieterburen is one of the oldest and most renowned seal rehabilitation centers in the world. Researchers and volunteers from all over the world live and work on their campus. Through their collective passion and multidisciplinary approach, they form a learning community. Sealcentre Pieterburen translates this passion to the screen, sharing their collective mission with the audience.
Impact
This data will be available in 2020.
The goal
Our goal through the Sealcentre Pieterburen project is to visualize their new vision for the centre. The organization’s main focus is still on saving and protecting seals, but since humans are the reason for worldwide pollution they have broadened their approach. They now use data collected in their various different working fields to collaborate with scientists and institutes on broader climate change and pollution issues.

Johan’s Water Tale
“Johan’s Water Tale” is the personal story of Johan. His dedication to the nature reserve where he lives and his hobbies: photographing birds. We’ve produced this film because Johan sets an inspiring example for others to reconsider their role as humans within Earth’s existing ecosystem. We visualize the beauty of untouched Dutch nature and its vulnerability. The barn owl functions as the symbol of this story; therefore we collaborated with the Barn Owls Workgroup Foundation Netherlands on this project.
Impact
This data will be available in 2020.
The goal
Johan’s story proves that each human can make a major positive impact on the environment. We want to inspire people to think for themselves and create new ways to, even on an individual level, support a sustainable future.
The future
Johan’s Water Tale is the first film in the Water Tale series. With this series we want share personal stories from people who have a strong connection with water and protecting it. Take a look in our stories shop to find more personal stories that are under development.
Thailand Manta Project
Through multi-faceted research the Thailand Manta Project (Est. 2015) is working to shed light on Thailand’s manta populations, and the threats that are impacting them. Using photo-identification methods and field observations the project is building a comprehensive database of individual manta rays, allowing manta distribution to be mapped across Thailand’s waters. Thailand Manta Project works closely with and engage local communities, businesses and the Thai government, to help raise awareness on the ecological and economic importance of protecting manta rays and their habitat. Investigating the manta ray fishery in Thailand is an equally important aspect of the project’s research.
Impact
This data will be available end of 2020.
The goal
With this film we inspire and activate divers to contribute to the research by submitting a picture of a Manta ray in Thai water. We call this citizen’s science, because each diver can contribute with their footage to a bigger goal; create value for living manta rays as a sustainable natural resource for the tourism industry.
The future
Over time, the collected data will enables Thailand Manta project to make an estimation of population size and highlight trends in behaviour, movements, life history and identify areas of critical habitat use. Which will be used to protect these beautiful species and their habitat better in the near future.
