True/False Wildlife Filmmakers Richard and Sonia Muller make documentaries about wildlife, particularly dangerous animals, like the big cats found in Africa. Piln-making for then is a way to bring the messace of the importance of understanding wildlife to international audiences, with their last film, Staying Alive, exploring relationships between lions and other wildlife in one African region. When Richard and Sonia were invited to help with a special project run by a wildlife organisation that was providing information about the falling numbers cf big cats, especially lions, they inediately agreed to take part. Richard grew up near a wildlife park and as a child was keen on filming what he sa. The couple were introduced at university in Cape Town, and quickly realised how much they had in common. They were both curious about the natural world and Sonia soon discovered a similar talent for filmmaking. As a child in South Africa Sonia often ran off alone to explore the wild areas surrounding her home, despite her parents’ fears. When asked what they found hardest about their work, Sonia and Richard have the same answer - leaving an area and finishing a project. Sonia adds that the hours required can be hard, and things like the heat, dust, and bugs make it very tiring. The excitement of her work comes from not knowing what will happen, perhaps even discovering something new for science, while Richard takes most interest in spending tine with individual animals, getting to know their character. ‘The pair visit schools around the world, and notice that students with access to lots of information don’t always have as much understanding about geography as students in countries where access is limited. “Students without the internet constantly available actually look at maps, they want. to find out where they are and often end up with a better idea of place,” Richard says. A major part of their work is explaining to students the importance of a fuller understanding of various environments by studying the climate, animals and culture of a specific location If you'd like a similar carcer, Richard suggests studying various different areas of biclogy, rather than learning about the latest film- making technology, as an understanding of the natural world will last forever. The couple also give general advice for those wanting to help protect the environment. Sonia explains that it’s important to allow yourself to concentrate. “Turning off personal electronic items ge Closer to the natural world,” she says. “You can watch nature, ins of listening for your mobile phone.” Most importantly they agree that if urgent action isn’t taken, more animals might be lost. However, the fact that more teenagers are getting involved offers some hope for the future.
