Welcome to ARKive

Wildlife films and photos are vital weapons in the battle to save the world's endangered species from the brink of extinction.

So with the help of the world’s best filmmakers, photographers, conservationists and scientists, ARKive is creating the ultimate multimedia guide to the world's endangered animals, plants and fungi.

ARKive promotes conservation

By revealing what these species look like, how they behave and what makes them special, we are aiming to shine the spotlight on the many thousands of endangered species, thereby raising their public profile and, ultimately, helping to ensure their conservation.
