“Avian ninjas with swords attached to their face” – @filipe_deandrade 🥷🗡️ Hummingbirds, the enchanting jewels of the avian world, reveal a mesmerizing variety of species in the breathtaking landscapes of Costa Rica. These tiny powerhouses play a crucial role in our ecosystems, their presence reverberating far beyond their size. As we recently launched “The Hummingbird Effect” on @PBSNature and @terramater, I am delighted to share their captivating stories with you. In Costa Rica, a haven for biodiversity, #Hummingbirds grace the tropical forests with their vibrant plumage and kinetic energy. These remarkable birds, with their unique ability to hover and fly in all directions, are key pollinators, ensuring the reproduction of countless plant species. Their slender bills, specially adapted for accessing nectar, allow them to delve deep into flowers, forming a vital connection between flora and fauna. “The Hummingbird Effect” (produced by @filipe_deandfrade @coneflower_studios @black.licorice) on @PBSNature provides a window into the extraordinary lives of these feathered wonders, unraveling their remarkable behaviors, epic migrations, and the delicate dance between their survival and our actions. Through this documentary, we gain a deeper understanding of the intricate harmony Hummingbirds bring to our natural world. By appreciating the beauty and significance of Hummingbirds, we embrace our role as stewards of nature. Let us protect their habitats, foster gardens rich in native plants, and champion conservation efforts to secure a future where these avian ninjas thrive. #KeepItWild #WorthMoreAlive #StayWild

Mobula Rays or as I like to call them…”Pelagic Pancakes” – @filipe_deandrade Mobula Rays, also known as devil rays, gracefully navigate the vast open ocean of Baja California. Belonging to the Manta Ray family, these magnificent creatures captivate with their triangular pectoral fins and streamlined bodies, perfectly adapted for life in the water. With a wingspan that can reach up to 23 feet (7 meters), they effortlessly glide through the depths, showcasing their remarkable agility. #MobulaRays play an important role in marine ecosystems, feeding on plankton and small fish, thus maintaining a delicate balance. They are highly social animals, often found in aggregations or schools, creating a sense of community as they journey through the vast ocean. To safeguard Mobula Rays and their vital habitat in Baja California, we can take meaningful actions. Supporting local conservation initiatives and organizations dedicated to marine protection is a crucial step. I worked with @nakaweproject and @marvivo.earth to capture this image. By spreading awareness about the importance of Mobula Rays and their role in maintaining healthy oceans, we can inspire others to join our cause. Reducing our own environmental impact is essential. Practicing responsible tourism, minimizing plastic waste, and supporting sustainable fishing practices all contribute to the preservation of Mobula Rays’ fragile ecosystem. By creating a legacy of conservation, we ensure a future where these magnificent beings thrive. #KeepItWild #WorthMoreAlive #StayWild

“Dolphins!!!” @filipe_deandrade 🐬🐬🐬🐬🐬 What better animals to start off @unbiodiversity takeover week than #Dolphins. I’ve filmed Dolphins around the world for the likes of @natgeo @netflix @disney @pbsnature @humblebeefilms and many more. I’m OBSESSED! These extraordinary creatures are renowned for their impressive aerial displays, characterized by rapid spins, flips and double back flips…looking at you Pacific white-sided Dolphins. They are highly social animals, often observed in pods engaged in synchronized swimming, mating and hunting. The fascinating dynamics of their interactions reveal the intelligence and strong social bonds. They also play critical roles as apex predators by restoring and keeping balance within their marine community. There are over 40 different species of Dolphins…all unique. As a wildlife filmmaker fortunate enough to capture their behavior, I am consistently inspired by their grace and adaptability. They belong in the wild with great open spaces to roam and ability to carry out their biological purpose; drive evolution. #KeepItWild #WorthMoreAlive #StayWild

Costa Rica for @unbiodiversity Takeover Week – @filipe_deandrade 🐆🐬🐳🐋🦈🐍🦜 This captivating country holds a special place on the global map, renowned for its commitment to environmental preservation and being at the forefront of conservation efforts. However, as we witness the incredible wildlife and breathtaking vistas showcased in this video, we are reminded that there is still much work to be done. #CostaRica stands as a beacon of hope, a shining example of what can be achieved when a nation embraces sustainability and cherishes its natural treasures. Its lush rainforests, pristine beaches, and diverse ecosystems provide a sanctuary for countless species, both iconic and lesser-known. Yet, even in this green paradise, threats loom, from deforestation, overdevelopment, climate change and more. As we marvel at the wonders captured in this video, lets forget our collective responsibility. Each one of us has a role to play in preserving the irreplaceable beauty of Costa Rica and safeguarding its fragile ecosystems. By supporting local conservation initiatives, promoting sustainable practices, and raising awareness, we contribute to the ongoing mission of protecting our planet. Costa Rica’s journey towards a sustainable future is an ongoing process, and together, we can ensure that its legacy as a conservation leader endures. Let’s work hand in hand to nurture its natural treasures, fostering a world where harmony between humans and nature thrives. #KeepItWild #WorthMoreAlive
