Aldo Kane & The Wild Ones: Fighting for Earth’s Rarest Species

The age of watching is over. For more than 70 years, David
Attenborough showed us the beauty of the natural world. But beauty
doesn’t cut it anymore. Action does. Wildlife populations have
declined by 73% in the past 50 years — and by 95% in Latin America.
We are losing up to 150 species every day. There are more tigers in
captivity than in the wild. Aldo Kane, former Royal Marine Sniper
turned conservation filmmaker, ventures where few dare to follow in
the new Apple TV+ documentary series The Wild Ones. Together
with Declan Burley and Vianet Djenguet, he searches for the world’s
most endangered species in remote jungles, scorching deserts, and
high mountains — often in war zones and minefields. From tracking
the rarest Gobi bear in Mongolia to capturing the elusive leopard
in Armenia’s minefields, their work is not just about filming —
it’s about changing the fate of species. The Wild Ones gather
irrefutable evidence and deliver it directly to policymakers, the
UN, conservation leaders, and governments who can create protected
zones, deploy military patrols, and enforce anti-poaching laws. In
this 60-minute conversation, Aldo shares how wildlife storytelling
is evolving into direct conservation action — where everyone can
make a difference — and why the future of our planet depends on it.
