Eco-Survival over the Next 4 Years
The environmental community will face some real challenges over the next four years. This will put more pressure on local conservancies to get their members to become active in supporting local conservation efforts and fighting global climate change. I would like to help by creating a special series of video posts of on-camera Eco-Views from Southern California conservancies. The goal of this series is to inspire people to support efforts to preserve and protect wild habitats and species. 

The brief 15-30 second Eco-Views will be distributed through social media, YouTube, Vimeo, conservancy websites and JimKarnikfilms.com. 

There is NO FEE for filming these on-camera Eco-Views. I feel this is an important issue and this is one way I can contribute to ongoing nature conservation and environmental efforts.

Travels to Beautiful & Wild Places is a collection of photography and short films with a focus on nature & eco-travel, tours, lodging and related services. Whether exploring nature reserves close to my home in southern California or hiking the mountains of Switzerland, my interest is in creating cinematic pieces that convey a sense of place, allowing the viewer to experience the ambiance of a location. In addition to these visual montages, the series features stories about spectacular destinations, adventures and interesting people we meet along the way. Half the adventure is getting there, so the series will also include mini-documentaries and promotional videos that profile lodges, tours, wineries and other travel related services.
