MIKE needed impact reporting to demonstrate how donor funding was spent. Through a combination of short- and long-form films, we captured MIKE’s conservation efforts in a way that would resonate with both local communities and global stakeholders.
Operating in remote locations requires agility. With a compact yet highly skilled team, we adapted to field conditions, integrated seamlessly into the rangers’ work and maximised resources to deliver visually striking, impactful content. Powerful storytelling, efficient execution.

“We had the pleasure of visiting Mole National Park to film the daily lives of the ranger team and see how the MIKE grant had been put to use. I was really surprised by how well the funds had been allocated. The improvements were amazing – new sub-camp buildings, boreholes providing clean water, solar power grids, training programmes and a vehicle. Much of the work was carried out by local builders, ensuring that the investment also benefited the surrounding communities.”

Beyond showcasing ranger patrols and anti-poaching efforts, our films in Ghana and, last year, Zambia highlighted MIKE’s broader impact, including the role of women rangers in community education and the impact of vital investment which has transformed ranger stations and facilities. These elements helped reinforce the tangible benefits of the MIKE programme, strengthening its case for continued funding and support.
