Saving the Hazel Dormouse | Short Documentary
The Hazel Dormouse is an iconic species of our woodlands in the UK, with their population teetering on the edge of extinction, with a 70% decline since 2000. Since 1993, over 1,000 dormice have been reintroduced into woodlands across the UK by Peoples’ Trust for Endangered Species and partners, as part of their annual reintroduction programme. ‘Saving the Hazel Dormouse' is a short documentary exploring the plight of the hazel dormouse in the UK, following the stories of conservationists racing against time to save them from extinction.
I hope this film raises awareness of their decline and the inspirational conservation efforts ongoing to save them and reconnect the UK's fragmented lands...

Tresillian River Egret Sequence (MNHP 211 Assignment 1)

I'm thrilled to finally share a short Little Egret sequence I've been working on for the last few weeks for my assignment handed in last week. I've thoroughly enjoyed spending time observing these birds as they elegantly hunt for their prey at low tide. Rivers such as these offer a buffet of food for residents and migratory-wading birds.

    Gosh I was ignorant. I've always thought a dormouse from childhood stories was an ordinary mouse. Not so it seems. They are utterly adorable & it's sad to think we could ever lose them. I really hope not. I'm from Australia & we don't have them here so I hope my ignorance is forgiven. To my mind the people doing this work are like heroes. Good on them.

      I think there's a lot of truth in the stories we're told as children, but sometimes we don't always focus on the underlying facts until we are older. I knew nothing about the Hazel Dormouse before the project started, 9 months later the film is complete and I've learnt so much about them, what they stand for and the conservation work on going, it's never too late to care and make a difference!

    I think I want to be on a wildlife rehabilitation and reintroduction team like this. I'm studying Anthropology & Theater, and I've been wanting to pick a minor study as well (a minor is an American college program that you would add into your Bachelor's program - it's almost the equivalent of achieving an Associate's degree in that field on top of your Bachelor's degree). I've narrowed it down to choosing between a minor in Biological Science, Ecology or Animal Science. I would love to do all three, but that's kind of insane lol. I'm very passionate about ecological conservation efforts, as well as increasing the utilization of permaculture in common agriculture. Thank you for making this film and shedding light on this fantastic conservation project - an important message with beautiful cinematography is always a great combination.

In the UK there is a lot more conversations about regenerative farming which is probably similar, in essence though better for farmers in the long run and better for wildlife.

    Sending the brightest of blessings to you and your exquisite dormouse peoples, I hope with all my heart you’re able to get these little beings to a place of stability. Here in Australia we have similar issues with some of our more diminutive inhabitants too, habitat destruction is a very serious problem for them here, and it’s really not showing any signs of improvement either I might add. Animals give us our humanity, without them we couldn’t (& I wouldn’t want to really)survive. Everything crossed for the darling hazel dormouse (mice).🫠🥰💜☯️

    Really fantastic documentary! I feel like little critters like these tend to not get as much attention as the larger & more well-known endangered animals, so I'm glad to see the spotlight on them. I hope this gets the attention it deserves! As a heads up, the generated subtitles have some quick-fix mistakes in a couple places - "dormice" is "dmise" most times its said, at 4:08 it says the year 200,000 instead of 2000, and at 8:25 it says 270 species instead of 2,070 species. They are otherwise accurate though! I believe the auto-generated captions can be edited by the video poster, so this could be a great way to help increase accessibility! Thank you for making this, it really is wonderful ☺
