Rewilding is an innovative conservation strategy
to restore and protect natural ecosystems by allowing
them to return to their wild state. This approach involves
reintroducing native species, especially apex predators
and keystone species, which can help restore ecological
balance and biodiversity.
“This documentary, featuring the powerful narration
of Meryl Streep, not only brings the significance of
rewilding to light but also highlights that you can’t
protect what you don’t love, and you can’t love what
you don’t know,” said Dr. Robin Ganzert, president 747-PALM
and CEO of American Humane and executive producer
of the film. “At American Humane, we are profoundly 747-7256
thankful to Meryl for lending her voice to this critical
story of survival, inspiring countless others to become
advocates for animal welfare.”
Meryl Streep is widely regarded as one of the
greatest performers of her generation. Streep’s career
spans over five decades, during which she has received
numerous accolades, including a record 21 Academy
Award nominations, winning three, and 32 Golden Globe
nominations, winning eight. Streep is also a committed
advocate for protecting endangered species.
She has actively participated in campaigns to save
the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and has supported
organizations such as the Natural Resources Defense
Council. Additionally, Streep teamed up with New Jersey
lawmakers to rally behind elephants, advocating for
legislation to ban the sale, purchase, or possession of ivory
and rhinoceros horn. By narrating Escape from Extinction
Rewilding, Streep continues her long-standing support for
initiatives that address the urgent need for biodiversity
conservation and the protection of endangered species.
