On Nature’s Terms: People and Predators Co-existing in Harmony
Co-produced by award-winning film producer John de Graaf and WildFutures' Director Sharon Negri in 2001, this ground-breaking film makes the important connection between the ecological, economic, and social factors for carnivore species conservation and the necessity of protecting the large continuous expanses of land that they need to survive.
On Nature’s Terms chronicles how age-old myths and mistaken notions about these animals devastated predator populations and brought many near to extinction as settlers made their way West—and how many of these myths still persist today. But the overwhelming message of this 35-minute film is about hope and possibility: how ordinary citizens— biologists, conservationists, agency personnel, ranchers, and homeowners—through their work and through their lives, are protecting, maintaining and restoring these majestic species and their habitats.
