Natural history film-maker Stewart McPherson has realized a project to visit all of the UK Overseas Territories. Stewart was accompanied by cameramen in order to film the incredible diversity of wildlife across the UKOTs. The footage is in the process of being edited to create a series of 4 documentaries that will showcase the natural history of the territories. Stewart has also set up a Kickstarter project with the aim of turning unused footage into 16 short 3-7 minute long documentaries available to a wide audience. These short films will raise awareness of the territories and allow the viewer a better understanding of their amazing wildlife and conservation work being undertaken.
