ABOUT US.
Launched in April 2024, greenstories is a not-for-profit initiative dedicated to fostering impactful environmental storytelling - an incubation, mentorship and pitching platform for wildlife and conservation films from Asia. It offers a platform for filmmakers to develop their stories that address pressing ecological challenges and connect with a global network for collaboration. Now in its third edition, it continues to bring together storytellers who see film as a form of conservation.
TESTIMONIALS.
Join us to create a meaningful space for wildlife and environment filmmakers from India South Asia and South East Asia - a space where storytellers are at the centre!
At the National Geographic Society, we believe in the power of stories to illuminate and protect the wonder of our world. Central to the power of our stories are the storytellers that dedicate their time, talent and creativity in telling them. For this reason we're honored to work with greenstories to further support storytellers in India, South Asia and southeast Asia that are dedicating themselves to bringing the world stories that will lead to illumination and protection.

We, at Royal Enfield, believe in the importance of the connections between communities and the natural world, and our aim is to support those who work to protect it. Green Stories aligns with our mission to promote meaningful change and knowledge sharing through storytelling. We are happy to come on board and support this platform that empowers storytellers to explore environmental narratives that inspire both action and reflection.

As the impacts of climate change become more severe and frequent, increasingly our solutions lay in our ability for adaptation rather than climate mitigation. Stories of these lived experiences serve as a reminder of the human spirit’s power to overcome and inspire hope and activism for change. I am both humbled and proud to be invited to support Green Stories vision of fostering an important community of these essential storytellers.
Noel Kok
Nature Environment & Wildlife Conservation Trust
A good documentary by filmmakers intimately involved in the world they portray, inspires empathy – the heart’s intelligence - and reveals the truth in a way no other medium can.
I’m excited to be a part of Green Stories, because I’ve always believed an authentic, indigenous voice is irresistible to the viewer and can carry any issue or cause to the next level.
Vicky Mathews
Director I Producer
greenstories is that rare and special space where filmmakers, mentors and decision-makers come together in a spirit of generosity to help each other tell urgent and important stories about our natural world. A unique environment that manages to foster excellence from the filmmakers while holding them, nurturing them and inspiring all of us. I could not recommend it highly enough to anyone motivated to tell stories that matter, stories that inspire, stories that help us love and protect nature - the life force of our precious planet.

There could not be a better time for GREEN STORIES as no challenge poses a greater threat to current and future generations as the environmental crisis of our time. How this affects wildlife and human behaviour is of critical importance
Brian Tilley
Director
As the climate crisis rapidly overtakes our planet, conservation efforts are critical for our survival. Film, with its ability to move hearts and minds, has long been a tool for environmental activism, and Green Stories' mandate to support filmmakers working in the space is both timely and necessary. I am thrilled to be part of this initiative focused on access and platforming for these essential storytellers.
