Documentary films have the power to shape how we understand nature. They offer a deeper look into the planet's challenges, bringing people together through shared experiences and inspiring action. As a media partner for the 2025 Environmental Film Festival in the Nation’s Capital (DCEFF), Mongabay is featuring exclusive interviews with the makers of this year’s standout documentaries. From the return of wolves to Yellowstone to a young journalist investigating conflict in Kenya, to efforts to protect turtles in India, these films explore conservation, human-wildlife coexistence, and environmental justice in a changing world. Through these conversations, Mongabay examines the research, storytelling and creativity that bring these issues to life. DCEFF runs from March 20–29 in Washington, D.C.
