What Voice for Nature does

Voice for Nature is a London-headquartered, globally distributed creative agency founded in 2006 by explorer David de Rothschild, operating with a 12-person team. The agency delivers documentary film, video installations, events, campaigns, and experiential design services for sustainability-focused enterprises, cultural institutions, and conservation organizations, with a stated emphasis on hope-based rather than fear-based environmental narratives. Its core products include the Hyundai original series Cities in Motion (28M+ views), the permanent Fixing Our Broken Planet video installation at the Natural History Museum London (6.4M+ annual visitors), the Human x Nature Project documentary slate, the Plastiki expedition legacy, the ReWild Yourself nature-connection programme, Pulse on the Planet, and The Nature Bar experiential event series. The company runs a parallel registered charity, Voice for Nature Foundation (UK charity 1113144), which provides grants for nature-impact initiatives. Revenue is generated primarily through project-based professional services fees from enterprise clients, supplemented by foundation grants and brand partnership contributions.
