Creative Solutions

Now for Wildlife is as a creative hub dedicated to fostering innovation in wildlife conservation, emphasizing a balanced approach that addresses the needs of both wildlife and local communities. With insights gained from years of hands-on experience in conservation within the Tien-Shan mountains of Central Asia, we recognized the necessity for pioneering strategies, particularly within the snow leopard range, leading to the establishment of Now for Wildlife.

We have a unique way of approaching conservation that goes beyond traditional corporate methods. Our approach is more like that of missionaries, as we spend significant time living in the wild to gain real-life experiences. By immersing ourselves in the natural environment, we can come up with innovative ideas based on firsthand knowledge. This hands-on approach helps us create effective and personalized solutions for wildlife protection, ensuring real benefits for the species we strive to preserve.

From Awards to Action

With over 20 years of diverse experience in design, art direction, engineering, product design, electronics, 3D printing, professional photography, and communication, the potential for these skills to directly benefit wildlife might not have been immediately apparent. However, these skills prove tremendously valuable for projects in remote landscapes, where a combination of creative thinking, expertise, and on-the-ground experience is rare and often lacking. Now for Wildlife is defined by this unique mix of professional knowledge and firsthand experience.

Our mission-driven approach stands out, marking a departure from conventional practices. While many organizations follow a one-size-fits-all international framework, we believe in understanding the unique reality and cultural context of each place.

● Front Line Mobility
The mobile conservation hub will serve multiple purposes, acting as both a functional studio and a strategic base to operate effectively from the front line of conservation.
On the Move for Wildlife

Now for Wildlife is a technical and creative studio situated in the heart of the front line of conservation. We believe that the true power of this idea lies in our ability to bring the remote landscapes and endangered wildlife to the forefront of global attention.

To accomplish this ambitious vision, we recognize the need for a robust and adaptable mobile base. A scientific workshop that can withstand the harshest weather conditions and unforeseen challenges. Equipped with cutting-edge technology and research facilities, this mobile conservation hub will serve as a crucial resource for conducting scientific studies, documenting wildlife, and engaging with local communities.

Our mobile base will not only facilitate in-depth research for endangered species in remote areas, it will also serve as a haven for documentary teams seeking to capture the essence of these breathtaking landscapes. Through this mobile studio, we will unlock the potential of these landscapes, fostering a deeper understanding of their importance and the urgent need for their protection.

Collaborative Funding for our Mobile Conservation Hub

To construct and establish our mobile conservation hub—a versatile and essential component of our project—we will actively seek partnerships with brands, technology for innovation companies, and sponsors who share our commitment to conservation.

Join us on this transformative journey as we forge ahead from the front line of conservation, united in our determination to protect endangered wildlife and their fragile habitats.

We're grateful for the diverse mix of lifestyles that enrich our daily experiences, allowing us to connect with remarkable individuals, animal friends, and projects on the front line of conservation.
The insights gained from extended stays in remote landscapes are crucial for enhancing the effectiveness of conservation practices—a rarity among organizations in the field.
Shifting Views

Wildlife protection isn't getting the attention it once did. One reason is that conservation efforts seem a bit old-fashioned, especially when it comes to safeguarding endangered species in remote areas. One explanation for this shift is the increasing detachment of people from wild nature experiences in their lives. As a result, the contemporary focus leans towards sustainability within the human context, often related with economic-driven and profit-oriented initiatives.

The decline in conservation efforts can also be attributed to a lack of fresh ideas and a failure to prioritize wildlife, resulting in waning interest. Large organizations acting as monopolies in some regions further stifle competition in conservation projects, limiting the diversity of ideas and modern approaches that are essential for progress in preserving our planet's nature.

Our approach to conservation is straightforward, prioritizing wildlife over all other actions, and we strive to demonstrate this commitment with a simple and direct methodology. This honesty is fundamental as we work towards making conservation practices accessible to a wider audience, allowing individuals to participate in safeguarding these remote lands and their precious biodiversity.
