In March 2018, the Wildlife Conservation Film Festival (WCFF, www.wcff.org) originated in New York built contact with CBCGDF. The two sides planned to hold an international wildlife photography exhibition in China in the future. Since then, CBCGDF and WCFF have been in deep communication to exchange views on issues of common concern such as endangered wildlife protection and combating wildlife crime.

 

WCFF is an independent film festival focused on the selection of low-budget wildlife protection films designed to attract and encourage public attention to the protection of global biodiversity. It is the first and only event of its kind and started out to inform, engage and inspire people to protect wildlife and global biodiversity through films. This film festival brings together international conservationists, filmmakers, scientist, photographers and people from across the globe who are dedicated to wildlife. The documentaries showcased at WCFF are made by leading conservationists and filmmakers, many of whom are on the front lines of international wildlife conservation efforts.
