The section 'The Future of the Industry'involves views from individuals with a wide variety of experience of wildlife films - combining to produce an informative vision of the future of wildlife programming.
The book contains many case studies and contributions from successful professionals in the wildlife film-making industry from all over the world. Among the contributors are: Nick Gordon, Doug Allan, Mark Deeble & Victoria Stone, Mike Holding and Tania "TJ" Jenkins, Jean Hartley, Simon Willock, Malcolm Penny, Mike Pandey, Peter Crabb, Brian Leith, Jeremy Evans and many more.
According to contributor Jeffery Boswall interested parties should "acquire and read - but most importantly - act on this book. It will really help you."
