Shot over more than 130 days, the film follows scientists, ranchers, and conservationists proving that environmental restoration is not only possible—it’s happening. Directed by adventure filmmaker Ben Clark, PRESERVED features insights from leading voices including Kris Tompkins, Craig Childs, and Vermejo’s on-the-ground experts. The film is both a visually stunning documentary and a call to action for environmental stewardship.
