A Voice for Whales (2020)

Return to K’gari (2023)
Tucked away on the eastern coast of Australia lies a primeval bay where migrating South Pacific humpback whales find refuge. To sustain and grow vital noninvasive whale research, Pacific Whale Foundation (PWF) seizes this opportunity to develop a long-term study examining this population of humpback whales-where they migrate and how they use East Australia’s coastline. Today, PWF Australia’s ongoing efforts focus on the revitalization of a paradise threatened by climate change and unsustainable commercial tourism.
Rising from the Ashes (2024)
This film explores how Pacific Whale Foundation and other community organizations and individuals responded to the immediate needs of those impacted by the devastating Maui fires, and what is being done for long-term community needs and recovery.
