About Us

Our Mission:

The mission of The National Wildlife Conservation Film Festival is to educate, enlighten and entertain people in the Baltimore-Washington, D.C. metropolitan area so they can become aware and understand that we must protect the world’s wildlife. We do this through the use of films, television and social media.

The protection of species and habitat is critical not to the survival of humanity but our responsibility to ensure future generations can appreciate and enjoy the planet’s natural treasures 

The National Wildlife Conservation Film Festival is the premier venue for wildlife filmmaker to present their work to a world audience. This film festival is an annual event and attracts members of the global conservation, film, media, television, and scientific community.

* Portion of proceeds from tickets sales at the film festival benefit the Friends of the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center and Refuge.
