About us

Stories and science that reconnect us with the natural world. Let’s get wild.

On the Edge is a not-for-profit multimedia and conservation organisation telling modern, pop-culture stories about the awe and wonder of Nature to inspire a new audience.

We exist because, as people, we've never been more disconnected and isolated from the natural world than we are now. It is this disconnection that allows us to overlook the destruction of nature. We’re on a mission to emotionally reconnect humanity with it.

For us, an emotional connection means that what we're connected with is seen, acknowledged and respected. We create original content from the perspective of a particular species or Nature as an entity, using accessible genres and formats across social media, long-form film and gaming.

We pay particularly close attention to EDGE Species. These are Evolutionarily Distinct and Globally Endangered species in the plant, fungi and animal kingdoms.

We truly believe that only by falling in love with Nature will we truly appreciate its value and do what it takes to save it.

Sitting on an idea that could reconnect humans with nature? We're all ears.
