Lights, Action, Wildlife!
Keeping the Wild in the West Video Premieres!
What do Yellowstone wolf coordinator Douglas Smith, award-winning author David Quammen (Flight of the Dodo, Monsters of God, etc.) and actor Peter Coyote all have in common? They, among others, all appear in Predator Conservation Alliance’s Keeping the Wild in the West new video, of course!
This fall Predator Conservation Alliance wrapped-up production of Keeping the Wild in the West, a 16-minute video that explores the relationship between carnivores, the American West, and how Predator Conservation Alliance is working to save a place for the predators of the Northern Rockies and Northern Great Plains.
Production costs for the video were generously donated by Ray Keale.
These free videos are available in DVD or VHS tape format (all we need is $3 to cover shipping costs).

Predator Conservation Alliance Slide Shows
We are strongly committed to informing the public about what predators are and what they are not. Our slide shows are a great way to do just that. We have three pre-recorded slide shows, or we can tailor a slide show specific to your interests. Either way, our staff will follow the slide show with a forum for questions and answers.
NEW! Backcountry Travel: The Question of
Multiple Use on Our Public Lands
What does being in the backcountry mean to you? Ever wonder if the fabled wolverine lives in your favorite powder chute? What’s the difference if you walk or drive into the backcountry? Are we loving the ‘Last Best Place’ to death?
‘Backcountry Travel’ is a new video production that addresses the choices we make, as individuals and as a society, regarding recreation on public lands. Through personal interviews and on-the-ground footage, ‘Backcountry Travel’ explores the impacts, trends and ethical implications of recreation on the land and in our lives.
'Backcountry Travel' is especially pertinent for people who are interested in discussing the balance between human recreation and the needs of wildlife.
The Wild Bunch
Enter the world of four animals seldom seen by anyone other than a few lucky wilderness travelers, researchers, and fur trappers - the lynx, wolverine, fisher, and marten. These forest predators all rely on the wildest and most pristine regions left in the Lower 48 states, Alaska, and in Canada.
Based on science, illustrated by some of America's foremost wildlife photo-graphers, and accompanied by beautiful music from The Paul Winter Consort, Rhonda Larson, and Sagebrush Reunion, "The Wild Bunch" is sure to educate and entertain.
Our Vanishing Wildlife on the Prairie Grasslands
Step into a land embraced by ceaseless wind, ethereal light, and horizons rimmed by grasses. The Great Plains is home to an amazing array of plants and animals. Helping to create this diversity is the prairie dog, engineer of a unique and imperiled prairie grassland ecosystem.
Join us on a photographic journey to explore the life of the prairie dog and to understand its relationship to the endangered black-footed ferret, the cunning swift fox and the legendary bison.
Factual and visually compelling, "Our Vanishing Wildlife on the Prairie Grasslands" is sure to inspire.
Wild Traditions: A Look at the Forest Predators of the Northeast
Join us for a rare photographic jounrey into the reclusive world of the wolf, black bear, wolverine fisher, pine marten, mountain lion, lynx, and northern goshawk. This program explores the natural history, ecology and opportunities for conservation of these fascinating animals. Learn about the shared wildlife heritage of the Northern Rockies of the West and the North Woods of the East.
Engaging and artfully presented, "Wild Traditions" is a hit.
Booking Information
To host a slide show, we require an honorarium that covers the minimum costs of presenter transportation, lodging and meals. This figure will change depending on geographic location and the host's flexibility. [Generally speaking the host can expect to pay up to $500 RT for air fare when programs are scheduled for a Friday, Saturday or Sunday. Without a Saturday night stay (ie., programs between Monday-Thursday), air fare can cost as much as $1,000 RT.]
Slide shows are a great opportunity for us to raise much-needed financial support for our conservation programs, which we can do by offering memberships and merchandise at the show.
Other alternatives for showing these educational slide shows are borrowing the slide carousel and soundtrack, or purchasing a VHS video of these presentations. However, we have found that having a staff member present makes the difference in having the audience fully understand the scope of the issues surrounding these imperiled species.
If you would like to host a slide show in your community, there are myriad ways we can make it happen financially and logistically.
Give us a call or email pca@predatorconservation.org and we can start planning!
