Naude Heunis (@naude_heunis) is not only passionate about filmmaking, but his passions are equally rooted in wildlife and its conservation efforts. He has, over the years, learned how to combine his passions into making a huge impact in lesser known areas in the wilderness.He recently launched a new company alongside good friend, Donal Boyd. Together they founded Behind The Scenes of Nature, where they travel into lesser known areas and tell the stories about people doing their part for the natural world. Stories that need to be told. "There are so many stories out there of people doing amazing things and these stories aren't really being told." - Naude Earlier this year, Mathilda and Naude meet up in their hometown of Cape Town, South Africa, where they sit down and discuss just how his journey led him to where he is today. He also shares some of the wonderful stories that he has documented out in the wilderness, and he shares some of his encounters with the animals. He also discusses the importance of respecting the animals they work with as well as how to conduct oneself in a wild environment that he so often finds himself in."There's such a big disconnect when it comes to caring for animals and caring for our planet just because people don't appreciate it. And if you don't appreciate it how are you going to care for it. And if you don't care for it you're going to lose it." - Naude
